The ShortListen: Xylaroo (no. 320)

Exclusive track from new Sunday Best signings

The ShortListen: Xylaroo (no. 320)
31 May 2016

Who? Xylaroo

What’s the story? Maidstone via Papua New Guinea, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Switzerland. It’s fair to say sisters Holly and Coco Chant - otherwise known as Xylaroo, who you may know for their infectious single Sunshine and B-side cover of I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor - have moved around a bit. Though judging by their latest track, On My Way, which we're premiering exclusively on The ShortListen, you could be forgiven for thinking they spent their formative years living on a Texas ranch: bouncier than a ride in the back of a pickup going through a cornfield, it's utterly joyous, with brilliant melodies and michevious lyrics not a million miles from Edward & Sharpe & Magnetic Zeros’ Home. Probably a couple of thousand at most.

For fans of: Dolly Parton, Edward Sharpe & Magnetic Zeros

In three words:  New road-trip anthem
