\"Words<\/p>\n

Ahead of the release of their EP, ‘The Collector’ in August, comes ‘Play Your Cards’ from English pop duo, Words & Noises.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Comprising singer songwriter Chris Selman and percussionist Simon Williams, Words & Noises create a unique brand of pop music which has been described by BBC Radio 6 Music as,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201chighly entertaining and enjoyable \u2013 quirky, contemporary pop with clever lyrics\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Additionally, BBC Introducing Manchester said,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cabsolutely top stuff \u2013 incredible\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

while Amazing Radio described them as<\/p>\n

\n

“hot new DIY pop”.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It’s a lot to live up to – but the 80s style track from Words & Noises, which was recorded at Manchester’s renowned Blueprint Studio, is certainly a track you’ll want to listen to over and over. It’s got a really catchy hook, the “oooh ahhh ooooh” which will be in your brain long after you’ve managed to drag yourself away from the song. There’s a really familiar feel about ‘Play Your Cards’ – it opens a bit like ‘Take On Me’ from AHa – and then turns into something that sounds like it could have been by Cheap Trick. It’s a likeable sound, and leaves you excited for what the duo has in store with their EP.<\/p>\n

‘Play Your Cards’ is set for release on June 17 through Ditto Music and will be available on all good streaming and download services.<\/p>\n
