Featuring Amelia Fletcher and Rob Pursey...  

During indie pop's initial flowering the mainstream press didn't give the scene much attention.

'Under-achievers' they sneered, leaving the likes of Sarah Records to do their own thing. Yet here we are, two decades on, and the indie pop sound looms larger than ever with countless new groups picking up the torch.

Amelia Fletcher (OBE, no less) is one of the scene's staple figures, having worked with Talulah Gosh, Heavenly, The Tender Trap and more.

Pairing up with Rob Pursey, the pair form promising new duo The Catenary Wires. Upcoming mini-album 'Red Red Skies' is the duo's first document, a sweet, innocent return featuring some pared down melodic hymnals.

Clash is able to premiere 'Intravenous' and it's a beautiful introduction. Seemingly written during the winter, there's a warm, comforting feel to the simple arrangement.

The lyrics deal with the co-dependency of love, yet amidst the blissful romance there's something a little suffocating.
