Download Red Drapes - Reflection

Here’s a great bit of classic 80s indie pop from Red Drapes. It’s very Psychedelic Furs - but unlike a lot bands that plough this particular furrow, the tunes don’t get lost in histrionics. Red Drapes don’t try too hard, and get everything just right as a consequence.
They’re doing a couple of shows with the Delays in October, and playing at the 40 Watt Club in London on the 28th.

Decent stuff live
I've seen RD live on a couple of occasions (Southampton and London) and they always outshine the headline act. Moody, tight music with evocative lyrics. Well worth a listen. Looking forward to 93 Feet East headline on Oct 28th!
