Twitchin' For Sons & Daughters

Never too far from dance beats in the past, Scottish band Sons & Daughters have moved a little closer on their forthcoming Mirror, Mirror album (through Domino). Their last album The Gift was a fury of indie guitars and fiery beats produced by former Suede man Bernard Butler. But the band were already dabbling in the darkside having played at Glasgow club night Optimo and covering Adamski's 'Killer'. First Mirror cut previewed was the wonky wave of 'Breaking Fun' (think Fire Engines), followed by the Shriekback-esque 'Silver Spell'. Now they've unveiled a 'Silver Spell' remix by Optimo's JD Twitch, who has also produced the album at the infamous Green Door studio (check last year's Green Door Kids comp).
