Meet Pikachunes - Jazz student turned bedroom producer Miles McDougall (Tiger Tones) and Lil' Chief's newest signing.

There's something charming about a scrawny white guy occupying a stage with nothing more than his drum-machine and laptop, but Pikachunes more than compensates for his physical presence with the grooving hypnotism of his music and in-between song charismatics. Stripped back to bare essentials, a typical track features one or two synths, a 70's analog bass line, and a series of reverberated vocal harmonies, all driven by an atypical disco beat. - no unnecessary frills.

It's this simplicity that makes Pikachunes so appealing. Tracks like 'Just a Boy', which will be the next single along with accompanying video, tell the story of a blossoming romance written as a mantic loop. 'Nervous', “the BNet hit”, describes the fear of a musician rising to fame and fading into obscurity. McDougall's Matt Berninger/Bernard Sumner-esque vocals make Pikachunes all the more easy on the ears and glide tastefully amongst their new-wave surroundings.

However like all Lil' Chief releases, a strong pop sensibility remains.
