The UK’s Guardian newspaper has just featured Lost Valentinos as their latest New Band of the Day. Comparing them to, “Stone Roses circa Fools Gold crossed with the Armand Van Helden remix of Tori Amos’s Professional Widow”, they are apparently also the band most likely to release a single called “Inca the Groove”.

This comes on the back of a recent NME feature, as well as Radio 1 support from Zane Lowe, all signalling that the band currently have more British buzz than a stoned backpacker.

Lost Valentinos‘ latest single Midnights is currently painting Triple J cosmic with the fractured guitars and mystical vocals unique to their “conquistadisco” sound. To request it on air, just click here.

And don’t forget that the gents are playing Splendour in the Grass in just over a month, while the Midnights EP, featuring Emperor Machine and Fan Death remixes,  is out June 26.

Dazed Digital recently spent some time with the Condor, Piranha, and Snake (aka three fifths of Lost Valentinos) to discuss all sorts of things including AC/DC, hoverboards, and growing up in Sydney.

Our friends at the brand new UK label Dummy have generously put up a free-download of Lost Valentinos’ Midnights. Click here to download the two part track in all it’s glory, as well as a rework by hot-as-hell disco queens, Fan Death, and an incredible 14 minute marathon mix from Emperor Machine.

Dummy is run by Leo Silverman – he who signed the White Stripes to XL and broke The Vines and The Avalanches in the UK – and the label’s first release was The Golden Filter’s 24-carat single Solid Gold. Lost Valentinos will be playing the Dummy launch party in May, as well as UK club nights Yo Yo, White Heat, and the Clash Magazine party.

If you’re in Sydney this Friday (1 May) make sure you’re at the Serio Single Launch at The Annandale.
