Comment
This week's Essential New Tune was taken from Canadian duo Bob Moses, and their debut album Days Gone By, on Domino Records. The track is called "Tearing Me Up." I could have picked many tracks from the album, the whole thing is absolutely brilliant, but we picked this track as the Essential New Tune. I think they're going to be one of the real breakthrough bands for 2016. Spread the word.
This week’s Essential New Tune is featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 32:00 mins here.
