Much hyped duo Niki & The Dove premiered 'The Drummer' on Huw Stevens' Radio 1 show and you can now listen to it here. We think it's rather lovely. The single comes out on Mercury in October.

This is just so infectious, I can't wait to get my hands on the high quality version and blast it loud! The Drummer [...]
