Here it is then. 'How to Build a Life Raft' is the culmination of a whirlwind 12 months for Saturday Night Gym Club, which included an appearance at Radio 1's Big Weekend, a guest slot on Huw Stephens' show and a mutual collaboration with Dutch hot property Chagall. From the bittersweet pulse of 'I Know' to 'Lituya Bay's woozy sunset, these six tracks reveal a stunning union of vital, ambitious electronic music and triumphant pop. The Belfast/Manchester four-piece lovingly manipulate sounds and beats, incorporating live strings to mould the perfect landscape for their stories to unfold. Music to melt hearts, blow minds and fill dancefloors. Welcome to the Gym Club.
