The video for "I'm gonna have to..." features guitarist Gemma Thompson repeatedly submerging her head into a tank of water. It is shot from below in slow motion.

Gemma filmed this back in 2008. We only had the idea to use the footage to make this video last night.

HINDLEY sound reviewed by Loveable chap Nathan Persad

2010-07-06T08:01:00.000-07:00

Nathan Paul Persad was born Diminath Sharma Jaipersad in Streatham's notorious Megabowl "in the 70's". Boney M were number 1, ITV did not exist and you could still purchase a house and a loaf of bread for 12 guineas.

After an abismally-paid but invaluable early career tuning Liberace's harpsichord, he shot to fame as "the pudgy one least likely to have a solo career" in legendary boy band The Persad Brothers.

Nathan has been a long standing friend of the band since bonding over the fact that he and Matt Hindley are both exactly one month older than each others dads.

Below are a selection of kind words the man himself has said about the latest of Hindley's demos.......

1) Dancing The Dirt.

This is brilliant! Is that Gemma doing the spoken vocal?

2) Secret Life Of Blood And Bone.

Is this song about Alex Bone? What's so secret about his life?
I'm liking the Pet Shop Boys-style lead vocal.

3) Factories.

A great track, best programmed drums I have ever heard. If they had sound in the 1920's, this is what the movie "Metropolis" would sound like. I love the fuzz bass at 2min45. Well, I say "fuzz bass", it might actually be my crummy laptop speakers.... I used to work in a factory funnily enough. I lasted 4 days!

4) I'm Gonna Have To.

I'd recognise that Fender sound anywhere! Great. Best drums yet. What's the story with the drums on these songs anyway? Love the change to major key at 1min55.

5) Holly Finds It Difficult.

"Holly finds it difficult to leave her tiny house" This is great too. Is it about agoraphobia? Oh wow, a good-old fashioned "fade-out" at the end! That's what's missing from today's music!

Can't wait to hear these tunes live guys...
