The Khanz Be Somebody

Today’s Track Of The Day seamlessly condenses this glorious spring sunshine into one bubbling pop spectacle – and we’re lapping up every damn drop.

The Khanz are here – and don’t we know it, serving up a nostalgic dose of the naughties with a distinctly contemporary edge. “Be Somebody” is the latest offering from the Sydney five-piece, blending elements akin to synth-pop gods Crystal Castles and MGMT, with a suitably quirky dream-pop aesthetic. On stage however, you need to be thinking more Glass Animals meets The Pixies. Yeah, now you’re intrigued, right?

The band’s upcoming album, Mistakes That Nature Made (released 7th March), was recorded in the Vienna People Studios in Sydney, Australia, alongside producer Michael McGlynn. Having unearthed some sparkling musical gems – think L-Fresh The Lion and Little May – this album is one we can’t wait to get our hands on.

Simply put, if euphoric choruses were an art form, these guys would be Picasso on an acid trip.
