The Prague rockers have announced that they will be releasing a new single, Coco, this September.
Fresh from a performance at this years’ Great Escape Festival, the quartet are all ready to unleash their next single, taken from last year’s record Someone With A Slow Heartbeat. With their second album now a year old, the group have seen their profile steadily grow and are now slowly but surely leaving a stamp on the music world.
With a strong Britpop vibe behind the music, Charlie Straight have been perfecting a sound that Britain itself has failed to reciprocate since the likes of Oasis and Blur were all over the airwaves. Coco is a slow burner with a balled-esque feel about it, and you can feel your body get warmer and warmer with each time you press the replay button (which believe me, you will). Earlier this year the track won the Czech Grammy Award for best song of 2012, and now you can hear why. Close your eyes and feel yourself float away with the music as you become a part of what Charlie Straight are turning into.
The group are currently touring Europe. With aspirations to eventually play at Glastonbury, with more tracks like Coco up their sleeve, it can’t be too long before Michael Eavis stands up and takes notice.
You can listen to Coco below, which is released here in the UK on September 16th.
