London band Straylings having been winning fans, not just of DJs like Huw Stephens and Steve Lamacq but also legendary US producer Kramer, who’s worked with the likes of Low, Galaxie 500 and 17 Seconds favourites Withered Hand.

The two piece band are Bahraini/Austrian songwriter Dana Zeera and London born guitarist Oliver Drake. The latter had previously played with the Veils (who were signed to Rough Trade in the mid 2000s, round about the same time as those other 17 Seconds faves Aberfeldy). According to the press release, he turned up at her door. Whether this was accident or design, it was certainly serendipitous, as ‘Wallpin’ shows. To say that they make beautiful music together would indeed be true, if only that phrase wasn’t so loaded. Let’s just say that as a partnership, they are writing and recording songs that you will want to listen to again and again. Beautiful, dark and dreamy.
