There is so much measurable amounts of cool in the song The Heat by Picsel (from Swansea,UK) that it is hard not to join in the rock and roll sway. Musically there are a fair amount of musical tropes mined from iconic indie rock sounds. I mean I can't help but think about a tiny touch of the Pixies and slightly bigger touch of Blink 182 and maybe a larger touch of Weezer but that only makes the song sort of comfortable and easy to wrap your arms around right away. Add equally cool lyrics that you can relate to and sing with atop a cool rock ennui vocal performance and this song is indie rock certifiable that quickly gets under your skin and in your head. I have been singing it to myself in public for days, it is that kind of song. The ooooh, ooooooh background during the chorus is brilliant. It is a youth anthem of sorts and there are never too many good ones, especially these days.
From the upcoming album "Modern Life Discovery" - (oooh, oooooh, oohhhhh).

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM- PRESS NOTES:
PICSEL is a side project of Broken Fires. In their own words:
We started writing the BF second album. We wrote a lot of songs. Some great ones. We have thirteen wonderful and epic demos we are currently shaping and working on for the next full length record. It is going to be a banger.
HOWEVER… By accident we also managed to write 9 songs that don’t quite fit with the BF sound. The type of songs your mum definitely won’t enjoy. They are great! So, we started a side project. It is called PICSEL.
PICSEL has recorded a full-length album and will be playing some LOUD shows this Autumn to go along with this release.
