Taken from their forthcoming second album 'No Hope, No Future' (released on 25th January), single 'Under Control' is released on Monday through Brille Records. NHNF is filled with the kind of songs that made everyone fall in love with Good Shoes to begin with. 'Under Control' within minutes of it's throbbing, disco-flecked opening chords is without doubt such a song. And perfectly complementing it is b-side 'Talk' with its rolling drums and spiraling twists and turns through jaunty to the angular. It's love at first listen all over again.
Good Shoes are crazy busy in the next couple of weeks with in-stores all of next week, followed the week after by their 'Hope & Future Festival' residency at the Stag's Head, where the likes of Fiction, Wild Palms, Othello Woolf, Is Tropical and La Shark will be playing.
