Little Games 03:21
Don’t say another word No don’t you say another word I’ve got you all Got you all figured out Come with me Come with me I’ll take you somewhere we can be alone Take my hand Take my hand Let’s get out of here This place has nothing more to give I’ll take you home Take you home It seems the only place to go for us lovers Just trying to make sense Just trying to make sense of your little games Say the word. Say the word Just say the word and I will go But don’t expect me to fall over my feet Trying to get us both to meet again You took my hand Took my hand You can’t say you didn’t know where we were going to go I took you home Took you home It seemed the only place to go for us lovers Just trying to make sense Just trying to make sense of your little games

about

'Little Games' is the debut single from The Adelines.

The track is a bittersweet coming of age tale, recounted with a spirited frankness that epitimises the Welsh quartet’s sound. Where the tom-boyish vocals of lead singer, Jen, soar aloft over warped pop choruses that recall The Pains of Being Pure At Heart fused with the resonant wall-of-sound guitars of British Sea Power.

If this wasn’t enough, accompanying the release single is an excellent remix by Rob from Does It Offend You, Yeah?

ADAM WALTON, BBC RADIO WALES - “LOVELY!”
CRAIG EVANS, BRFM 95.6 - “The sound The Adelines created was so powerful it blew me away!"
RUTH BARNES, FRESHONTHENET.CO.UK - "Expect to hear this on a TV show near you soon: Hollyoaks? Lip Service? Could soundtrack an angsty montage brilliantly."
WE TALK, YOU DIE - "an insistingly catchy debut that resonates on a deeper level than another jangly indie-pop song"
ANOMNOM - "Overlapping, soft yet distorted guitars; a chorus with a mighty hook; tom-boyish vocals; honest lyrics. The Adelines have me on their side!"
SOUTH WALES SOUNDS - "As far as impeccable introductions are concerned, the track covers all the criteria; inviting, intriguing and more imperatively, it is memorable."
