Introducing... Frankie & the Heartstrings

The band listed in most tips-for-2010 polls, they have just made their first video for single 'Fragile'. NME claimed they've been 'making indie special again'. The swooning music they create is certainly special, and 'Fragile' makes it easy to see why they should be in every 2010 list. It's delicate and raw, handclaps in the right places, frustrated vocals rushing up to a climactic choruses and finishes. If they continue on this path, I don't care if they get 'big' in 2010, I just want to listen to a full albums worth of material from them (selfish of me I know!).
