They're performing "Islands," the all-up-in-your-earness of their sweet-nothing vocals and minimalism is crushingly close, and the light show Jools' techs set up for them makes it seem like they're on a spaceship to eternal love...I am yours now... so I don't ever have to leave is a perfect lyric, because it is basically how we feel about their music. And that is why we put them in our next issue, coming very soon. (via Theophilus)
