Description
South London outfit Ain’t return today with their
potent new single “Pirouette”. The single comes as the
band continue their packed-out UK tour with THUS
LOVE and is announced alongside the news of their
debut headline show in London this summer.
“Pirouette” lands on the back of an incendiary year for
the band. Having already played showcases for the
likes of So Young, Rough Trade, The Alt Escape, and
The Windmill, their first two singles “Oar” and
“Teething” arrived last summer and marked out the
quintet as that rarest of things - a band with a feverish
word-of-mouth reputation, despite having not released
a single official track, delivering on all the promise that
they had built up. The tracks saw widespread support
with the band landing digital cover with Dork and props
from the likes of Stereogum, NME, CLASH, DIY, The
Line Of Best Fit, and So Young, as well as, radio play
from BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio X, Apple Music 1 and
more.
Bringing together the stranger side of ‘90s guitar
music, post-punk, and shoegaze from both sides of the
Atlantic, Ain’t expertly toe the line between nostalgia
and ingenuity. “Pirouette” marks out the band’s
opening salvo for 2025, setting the tone for what is
shaping up to be another meteoric year. Recorded
with Theo Verney (English Teacher, Lime Garden,
Egyptian Blue), the track sees Ain’t flexing their knack
for complex dynamics with heavily textured, hook-led
instrumentation, subtle vocal harmonies, and a
combustible rhythm section.
