Formed of key members of the London slacker pop scene, including Weird Dreams' James Wignall, and Male Bonding's Nathan Hewitt, plus an American bass player and German frontman, Cheatahs is the new (and decidedly full-time) project from the four-some.

Having supported the likes of Wavves, Best Coast, and Ariel Pink for an idea of like-minded sounds, their debut EP on Marshall Teller is filled with fuzzy pop, melancholic vocals, lo-fi production and layered guitars, as the result of a shared love of Elliott Smith, Dinosaur Jr, Neil Young, and Wipers. The new EP arrives after a limited 7” on Young And Lost Club Records, a four-song cassette EP on Paradise Vendors Inc and a split 7” also on Marshall Teller which you can hear exclusively in full.
