Each new single released ahead of AlunaGeorge's debut album, Body Music, has sounded stronger and slicker than the last.
Their latest single, "Attracting Flies", finds the UK duo crystallizing their sound. George Reid's production is clean and sophisticated, while Aluna Francis' voice contrasts with the song's piercing lyrics in a way that mimics the group's own blend of forceful production and sweet, soulful vocals.
When Francis sings, "Little grey fairy tales and little white lies/ Everything you exhale is attracting flies", you can't help but relate to her bite.
The song's yet another smart, memorable step forward for this promising young group.
