Get to know Childhood<\/a>‘s bright, sparky soud – suffused with the kind of wistful dreaminess that makes it perfect for summer.<\/p>\n

\"childhood<\/a><\/p>\n

Childhood encapsulate the nostalgia of their namesake with their own brand of bright shoegaze-y rock. First single \u2018Blue Velvet\u2019 was enough output for the band to receive interest from every music blog worth reading and following a tour with Palma Violets and the release of their second single ‘Solemn Skies’, the excitement is rising high for a band whose output has been relatively little. Wonderland<\/em> spoke to co-lead man Leo Dobson about keeping that element of mystery, the tastiness of nostalgia and recording on a lightship.<\/p>\n

You talk of music as a performance based concept, what is the best thing for you about playing live?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a mental and physical release, it keeps our abs looking pristine and our minds sane. It\u2019s a great platform for trying out new things and an amazing feeling when you know it\u2019s gone down well. We love rowdy crowds.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not that much of your music online yet your few tracks are all held up all over the blogosphere in the highest esteem, how important is an Internet presence to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to let people know you\u2019re not dead, but also to keep them on their toes. We don\u2019t see the point of releasing demos all the time for the sake of it. We put a lot of thought into when we give people something new.<\/p>\n
