London-based quintet Exlovers have unveiled the video for their forthcoming new single ‘Blowing Kisses’, released through Young & Lost Club on 7th March.

'Blowing Kisses' is a rollercoaster ride of glorious melodic pop with delightful vocal harmonies. It's equally splendid b-side ‘Moth-eaten Memories’ is currently available for free download from the band's Soundcloud page: [link]

Until recently Exlovers were holed-up in Rockfield Studios with Demian Castellanos and Jimmy Robertson (Florence and the Machine, Big Pink) putting the finishing touches to their long awaited debut album which will be out later this year.

Formed in late 2008 by singer and songwriter Peter Scott, Exlovers have a gorgeous wistful indie-pop sound full of boy-girl harmonies that combine sweetly sombre lyrical musings with lo-fi guitars. Reminiscent of artists such as Teenage Fanclub, The Cure, The Dandy Warhols and Belle and Sebastian, Exlovers have a deliciously nostalgic 90s indie sound that is instantly warming.

The band released a 10” vinyl EP in late 2009 through Chess Club Records and received a steady stream of support from radio DJs such as Steve Lamacq, Zane Lowe and Huw Stephens and their live session with Marc Riley will be played out on his 6Music show tonight.

Exlovers are currently out on a full UK tour. They play's London's Lexington next Monday, 28th February.
