Nature Set is the guitar-pop collaboration of Claire (synth/vox) Daf (gtr/vox), Marie (drums/vox) and Reenie (bass/vox).

We've been around the block.We formed Nature Set hoping to create a B52's-esque party band. This didn't exactly work out, but we stuck to our other key principles: to songwrite by committee and pass the mic.

Check out the new Nature Set video for I am a planet here!

Former Lover is the first new music from Dorian Cox since the enforced end of the Long Blondes. Former Lover say; "Dorian saw Myrtle in a pub and knew by her fringe that she was the right girl to front his new pop group. Daniel Dylan Wray was asked to play bass due to the fact he'd not spent anytime in a terrible local band. The three then hid away from the world with records by Young Marble Giants and Margot Guryan for company to create quiet music to soundtrack insomnia and 3 am breakdowns." Daniel plays bass, Myrtle sings and Dorian plays guitar and organ.

Expect supper club vox, cheap drum machine, CIU organ and eruptions of molten lava guitar.
