Sydney’s New Navy follow their Ulluwatu EP with a breezy new single, which ably if unimaginatively recycles the Vampire Weekend sound. Regular Town has a great hook and dynamic pacing, lovely guitars made to sound like steel drums, and a little uke for bonus twee points, but it’s utterly derivative. Should do very well on triple j.
