patient - binko swink

so, let me introduce you today to binko swink, a fairly young band (not in term of actual band members' ages, but more as in the band was formed in early '11, and holy moly, they're already putting music out! kind of young).



hailing from london, binko swink has a very dreamy, ethreal sound to them that mixes with a bit of 60's melodies and smooth pop. they cite their influences from mazzy star to the velvet underground and the national, which you can sort of see (or rather, hear), with lead singer lyla's very mazzy-sweet vocals. it's an interesting sound, to be sure - low-key and relaxing, which, in a bizarre way, reminds me of massive attack in how they have such a kickback attitude to their music.

have a listen to patient, the band's upcoming single:

step into the hall
without a reason explained to me
how your star turned me into your patient
explain
explain
