INHEAVEN are one of our favourite bands so of course we had to invite them in for Music Box.

Writing in Music Week's 'Tastemaker' column I said: "INHEAVEN’s self-titled debut is pretty much everything I want in a rock album.

"The south London-based band have been drip-feeding bangers like “Baby’s Alright” and “Bitter Town” to fans for about two years now. I first met them as part of an interview with bassist Chloe Little in 2016, most of which was us bonding over a mutual love for Patti Smith and Viv Albertine.

The aforementioned “Baby’s Alright” bursts in without knocking for the opening track before jumping swiftly to “Treats”: this maelstrom of a rock song that blasts out its grungey riff as Chloe spits out a spoken-word intro that Debbie Harry would applaud...

"​Not one track runs over the four minute mark, so listening through the album feels much like being dragged along by a strong current, they maintain that urgent pace and a fierce intent throughout. It’s an accomplished, exciting debut from one of the most promising bands the UK has seen in a long time."

Bassist/vocalist Chloe Little and guitarist/vocalist James Taylor performed a stunning session of stripped-down songs off their debut, self-titled album and made the studio look really pretty as well.

There were a few nerves, as often happens with Music Box, where artists find themselves in the odd situation of our tiny studio and with music that sounds often-entirely different from the studio and live versions.

Check out their session (above) - we hope you like it.

INHEAVEN's self-titled debut album is out now and they are currently on a tour of the UK.
