The first taste from The Clits’ upcoming debut 7” EP Excuse Me is a stripped back and impossibly gorgeous little jaunt, its unrefined, disarming licks in resonance with the heartstrings. Singer Lucas Heenan possesses an uninhibited fragility, projecting a sense of charm much akin to a youthful Robert Forster. The winding guitar rings out for the simple and sweet chorus cry of “If you feel it / I guess I mean it”, never overreaching in its toe-tapping, bob-along conquest.
