Common Tongues To Launch Single In London Apple Store

• 21st Feb 2013

Common Tongues release their new single Solitary Thinker on Feb 25th via Dawson Breed Music. The band will hold a single launch at the Apple Store, Regent Street, London on Mon Feb 25th at 6.30pm

The single was played on Q Radio this weekend with the DJ saying “Love Solitary Thinker, makes me think of The Doors and Bright Eyes which equals awesome”

Hailing from the shores of Brighton, Common Tongues were formed in 2010 by childhood friends growing up together in Cambridge, Tom Anderson and Oli Hinkins. The band combine their love of tender and emotive song writing with a passion for experimentation and atmospherics. They mix an attention to memorable yet complex melodies with the percussive explosions of Efterklang and Local Natives. They also cite Yann Tiersen, Villagers, Radiohead and Brian Wilson as inspiration.

Having released their first single ‘Jumping Ships’ midway through 2011 on Something Nothing Records, they have been gigging intensively around the UK and hitting the festival circuit hard with slots at Bestival, Secret Garden Party, The Alternative Escape, Playgroup and Meadowlands alongside support slots with Beth Jeans Houghton, Michelle Stodart , Juan Zelada and Alice Gold. 2012 has seen the band play festivals such as Focus Wales, Alternative Escape, Liverpool Sound City, London Folkfest, Hop Farm, Cornbury, Lubstock and Tonefest amongst many others, with a live session on BBC Introducing South and finishing in the top 5 of the Isambard Folk Awards.
