Instead, MAKE OUT explodes with anthems like “I Don’t Want Anybody That Wants Me”, the group’s first…

At the 2010 ARIA Awards, Birds Of Tokyo not…

Both songs on Two Hearts/Reluctance were written this summer while DeWitt toured in promotion of his recent Nothing Shows EP (released exclusively through Daytrotter). The tracks expand upon the cinematic, orchestral feel of Nothing Shows and find DeWitt moving in a notably different direction than either the EP or his debut full-length, Islands (Izumi Records, 2009). The driving, dance-inflected pop of “Two Hearts” follows in the footsteps of Nothing Shows’…

I’d recommend you to check them out…
