RADIO 1 playlisted newcomer Natalie McCool will play the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds on September 18.

She next month releases album The Great Unknown, which Q magazine praised for “mechanically-brushed drums and jazz-inflected pangs of lovesick fragility”.

Described as a mesmerising lilt-pop gem by the Sunday Times, the album comes after Natalie rose through the ranks of the UK indie world, while championed by pop stars and indie icons.

She collaborated with Suede member Bernard Butler on her 2013 self-titled album Natalie McCool, and has built on its foundation of deliciously dark, gloomy indie-pop to provide prickly pop tunes, rousing epic numbers and subtly emotive songs on The Great Unknown.
