Drowned in Sound may have picked Look Away Sancho as one of their singles of the week last November, but 2010 should be the year when Black Daniel (MySpace) take that grass roots internet community love a little further into the oh so popular indie psyche.

They write some distorted pop delights – catchy as fuck but with enough alt/indie sensibilities that they should be finding themselves onto plenty of the party playlists. Craig Louis Higgins Jr, Liam May, and Luke May s have written an album that is reminiscent of the Dandy Warhols, or even the good parts of Kasabian – they’ve got swagger,  catchy tunes, and that dirty rock n roll drive. Enough of that, in fact, that you expect them to be waking up with a bottle of Jack and a fag for breakfast, and falling home with a different groupie every night.

There next single, a double a-side I Love You But Don’t Touch Me Cos You’re Sick / Move Like Royalty will be released for free along side their album, Let’s Get Sued, on 01/03/2010. And they have been good enough to offer up the stems for Move Like Royalty on their SoundCloud for remix purposes.
