Dalston's lo-fi trio Male Bonding release their debut record, Nothing Hurts, on May 10 (by which time David Cameron could well be Prime Minister) through Sub Pop but you can hear it WELL OVER A MONTH in advance thanks to SoundCloud. We told you it'd catch on.
Of course, they won't allow you to download the whole thing but it can be streamed in its entirety either by clicking here or just listening to it in the enclosed player below, complete with tracklist. It won't take you much more than 30 minutes from start to finish, pauses excluded.
