Wild Beasts, Antony & The Johnsons and Turin Brakes walk into a bar. A few jugs of Pimms down the line and they're all drunk enough to decide it would be a great idea to form a supergroup. So they sign up to the idea there and then. Next morning, with sore heads, they remember that they all have their own bands and are bogged down with touring schedules, studio time that's already been booked and Mercury prizes to go and pick up. So after a quick, gingerly phone around, they decide to put the plans on ice for a while. So it'll most probably never happen.
Everything above it entirely fictional, I literally just made it up as I went along. But imagine if those bands had formed that group and had made a record. It's not stretching the imagination too much to suggest that the resulting music may sound something like the excellent alt-pop/experimental/ambient/indie sounds of Sivu. New single 'Bodies' is the best from them so far and should you happen to be a fan of the above acts or others in that ilk then your next musical purchase should be this new single. Shall we start taking bets now on whether their debut album will get a Mercury nomination?
