Spearheaded by songwriter Charlie Bowles, and performing live with a 5-strong line-up that has been playing together since childhood, London’s Sheepish set their stall on spinning out fluffy, hook-laden indie-psych, tinged with the pangs of esoteric weirdness. Mingling the familiarities of bedroom textures, candied melodies with a penchant for weird experiments and vintage production techniques, each Sheepish track offers its own wondrous pocket-sized adventure – think King Gizzard-esque neo-psych and jangle pop mixed with a Syd Barrett-esque quintessential British awkwardness.
Hot on the heels of January lead single ‘High Note’, which added to the growing collection of tastemakers that now includes John Kennedy (Radio X), BBC Introducing London, Rough Trade, Hard of Hearing, The Most Radicalist and Post-Brexit Pop, new single ‘Little Bit Older’ colours a critique of mid-twenties London life with a dextrous afrobeat athleticism, as Charlie explains: “‘Little Bit Older’ was written by two mid-late twenty year olds living in London struggling with coming of age in a competitive job market and stagnating economy. The song explores the neurotic slightly outdated thought processes of a restless young man jumping back and forth between different approaches to living.”
