Their debut single, Brain Freeze, which released in early Spring, was quickly followed by a first live performance at Brighton’s Great Escape and a pair of sell-out headline dates in Hodgson’s hometown of Leeds and London.

Nick said: “Only One is another love song essentially, but when I write a love song they’re not very romantic but more matter of fact.

“In this case I’m saying, I love it when you phone me up in the middle of the night, something that’s pretty inconvenient but because it’s a certain person, you love it.”

Since leaving the Kaiser Chiefs in 2012, Nick has been in high demand and has co-written for the likes of Dua Lipa, You Me At Six, Duran Duran, George Ezra, and Holly Humberstone.

The band’s name is lifted from a David Bowie song of the same title and their debut album will feature 10 tracks performed by high-calibre, experienced players.

A first headline tour in support of the record runs across six dates in October, including a headline show at Oslo in London and Brudenell Social Club in Leeds. Tickets are on sale now.
