The best thing to come out of Oxford since sliced Radiohead are Dive Dive and after what feels like an age they have their new album ready to unleash on the world. First, however, is a second single from the record to contend with.
Following the stunning 'Good Show' Jamie & company are back with '5-5-5 For Filmstars' and, as we'd expect, it's a real belter.
An attack on Hollywood star lifestyles, this track is more of a 'grower' than the instantly infectious 'Good Show' but is still as sharp as a ninja's blade covered in lemon juice with catchy hook-laden choruses and Jamie's distinctive semi-nasal vocals.
'5-5-5...' has been a long time coming but there is a genuine feeling that big things are ahead for Dive Dive and for my money there is no-one more deserving.
