Sometimes you just want to share the B-side of a single. This is one of those instances, and I'll go on the record and say there's nothing wrong with the A-side. Leeds based 4-piece Esper Scout's 'In Foreign' is quite a fine song, a slow-burning intelligent rocker, but when I listened to the band's cover of Delta 5's 'Anticipation', I had to share it. I felt like it fit the whimsy on display in the photo above. Don't you think?
Anyway, the band is out on a mini-tour right now, opening for the Cribs on a handful of dates. They kicked it all off last night in Bristol, with the remaining dates listed below.
26th Nottingham Rock City
28th London Roundhouse
29th Oxford O2
30th Portsmouth Pyramids
The band is a long time Aimless Skylarking favorite, and one day I'll get to see them live. Stream 'Anticipation below.
Esper Scout are Abbi Phillips (drums), Kirsty Morton (guitar), Sarah Statham (vocals/guitar), and Rebecca Jane (bass).
