WIM
WIM are five men and five million ideas. You can see it in their stage act, hear it on their debut EP and feel it swimming through your blood. It's the kind of music we all eventually go looking for in our endless Itunes libraries but can never quite manage to find. It's there in the romantic four-part harmonies of 'See You Hurry', the grandiose stomp of 'Something For You', the swinging pop bliss of 'Milk With My Tea' and the woozy haze of 'Diamond'. Every spin of WIM is a new discovery. The shock of the new has never sounded this good.
