When you have your dark times, and your happy times, Grand Pocket Orchestra see themselves somewhere firmly in the middle. Writing happy songs, about not so happy things.

The bouncy nature of the delicious opener may seem to sidestep this mentality, until you dig a little deeper - perhaps delving as far as the youtube video may be too far for some!

Describing themselves in interviews as "like Juninho playing For Middlesborough Football Club", or "the lovechild of Pavement and Liza Minelli", these self-assured Dubliners have the humour, awareness, and downright catchiness to go far. Now featuring two new members, including Bobby (Dublin Duck Dispensay / No Monster Club), Grand Pocket Orchestra may just well be your new favourite discovery.
