Anglo-Australian quartet Allo Darlin’s eponymous album made a fair splash in the indiepop pool a couple of years back. They’re well connected within the scene: ukulele-wielding lynchpin Elizabeth Morris has guested with Darren Hayman, Tender Trap and A Little Orchestra amongst others (the Orchestra’s Monster Bobby turning up on Allo Darlin’s ‘Dreaming’ too), while fellow Aussie bassist Bill Botting was half of ace, recently departed, synthcore duo Moustache Of Insanity. Now Kent-based, this is their Brighton debut. (SH)
