Are you looking for an extra bit of indulgence? Something non-sugary but just as sweet? Call off the search as we present Nottingham's Saint Raymond - real name Callum Burrows. Following in the footsteps of Jake Bugg, the eighteen year old recently supported Californian sisters Haim as they jetted around the UK on a sold-out tour.
After appearing at this year's Reading & Leeds Festival on the BBC Introducing stage and having released an EP on Gabrielle Aplin's Never Fade Records, word is spreading fast about the young talent that is Saint Raymond.
Latest track 'Young Blood' incorporates soaring, shimmering synths alongside the indie-disco bounce that is the jumped-up drumbeats. Burrows at times sounds like the lovechild of Two Door Cinema Club and The 1975 - he hits the right grooves time and time again even if they do sound best suited to festival crowds.
With sun-drenched melodies and impossibly moreish hooks in abundance, Saint Raymond will inevitably be plastered amongst 2014's festival line-ups; keep an eye out for this incredible up and coming talent. The future looks bright.
