"Steady Waves" off the upcoming Cross Record finds Emily and Dan in good company on The Guardian's indie playlist with Savages, Field Music and Pumarosa. Harriet Gibsone called their single poised and intimate, traveling "through all manner of moods in its five minutes, from the delicate introspection mirrored by her acoustic guitar, to the heavy layers of guitar-grind that give an ominous undertone to an otherwise still and sensitive song". Clash referred to the track as "gloriously intense" in their premiere, while Stereogum said "it's the kind of song that makes you want to hear a lot more from a band".

The Renderers Fall US Tour
Taking a moment away from her incredible painting career, Maryrose Crook and her husband Brian are setting out on a rare tour of the US.
