Manchester-based Calva Louise are turning heads with their newly acquired swagger. Following on from their fuzzy grunge-pop record Rhinoceros (2019), the trio’s sci-fi-sounding new tune ‘Sleeper’ is an absolute belter, and a sign that this is a band on the cusp of something great. Don’t miss them at YES this December.
