What the label says:

Released on Weekender Records and produced by Brian O’Shaughnessy  (Felt, Primal Scream, The Indelicates), ‘Victoria’ looks set to impress just as their self released debut single ‘Snakes And Ladders’ did earlier in the year.  Originally formed in Leeds but now relocated to North London, Official Secrets Act are a four piece indie pop band reminiscent of many great British acts with their Beatlesesque harmonies, new wave-ish energy and clever lyrics (not to mention the use of a harmonium!).  It is this eccentric edge that marks them out as different from other indie guitar bands currently around, creating a distinctive sound whilst bringing to mind something familiar and uniquely English (not least due to frontman Thomas Burke’s soaring and echoing vocals which evoke a bygone era). 2008 is set to be a big year for them with Artrocker declaring them their tip for 2008, Clash having them as ones to watch for the year and continued support from NME. This is the first of several Weekender releases for the band.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
