Out now as a free download, 'Virgin' has a darkly nostalgic vibe – worthy of, say, Radiohead's much neglected 'Pablo Honey' full length.
Given the visual treatment, the video for 'Virgin' only enhances these themes.
Check it out now.
'Virgin' is out now. HeyRocco are set to play a series of headline dates in the UK this Autumn.
