Brighton. Home of two piers (one destroyed), a big wheel on the beach, the Royal Pavillion and Josh and Melis, better known as IYES the modernistic pop duo who we named in our annual Ones To Watch list last year.
Surfacing last night (UK time) on Soundcloud comes a new demo from the south coast twosome and this time we find Josh taking a more prominent role vocally. “I just want to feel,” he sings repeatedly before some warped chiptune style electronics bustle in to accompany Melis as she adds her weight. “Throw your toys at me, do you feel much better now?” she questions. And even if there’s effectively a bunch of old-school arcade games layering their sound over part of the track, Toys still sounds all sorts of late night sexy – the sonic equivalent of an expensive bottle of red wine, a soft (fake) fur rug and all the blinds drawn with a sign that states ‘do not disturb’. It's hot. IYES are on fire.
