Tucked down one of the streets off Brighton seafront is The Haunt, a live music venue-come- nightclub where I have come to see local band Us Baby Bear Bones play their unique electro-dream pop. Commanding the stage with pounding drums that juxtapose the sweet tinkling of the xylophone, the band showcased their potential with the mystifying and addictive "Mountains" before moving on to play most famous track "You". I managed to grab them for five minutes where they chatted to me about songwriting and their future plans.
