Alice and the Lovers say they make "dark romantic pop", and they're right. New single "Valentine" (out this Valentine's Day - when else?) has hints of Lana del Rey and a lot of the 60s girls groups like the Shangri Las. It's cool. They're based in London these days and you can see them at the Dublin Castle on 12 February (limited tickets available).
