Wildcard (week 7):
Stats – The Family Business
15 February, London sextet Stats release their debut album Other People’s Lives. The record is inspired by the likes of Roxy Music, Talking Heads and LCD Soundsystem. A month ago, I already recommended the single Lose It off the long-player.
Now, amid increasing media attention, the band are back with an even stronger teaser. The Family Business is an energetic pop song with a driving 80’s influenced drum pattern, presumably originating from the same computer as the rhythm underlying a-ha’s Take On Me.
Stats have a way with catchy tunes, not in the least because frontman Ed Seed was part of La Roux earlier, and played guitar and keys in Dua Lipa’s band. With his new musical project, he’s about to reach the same heights. As a first step in this direction, Stats’s new single The Family Business is this week’s Carte Blanche Music Wildcard, meaning it’ll feature here prominently until next Wednesday!
In the Wildcards 2019 playlist you can find all of this year’s Carte Blanche Music Wildcards so far.

Stats – Lose It
You might not know Ed Seed by name, but he was part of La Roux (remember the great single Bulletproof?) and played guitar and keys in Dua Lipa’s band. He quit that day job to take care of his new-born son and started working on his own band Stats’s debut album Other People’s Lives, to be released on 15 February.
Stats are a London sextet that plays full-band dance music, inspired by the likes of Roxy Music and LCD Soundsystem. The group got a boost last year, when their single Rhythm Of The Heart (created around a recording of Seed’s son’s heartbeat) got airplay on Elton John’s Beats1 radio show. Their funky latest single Lose It however, sounds like it could be playlisted by radio stations and streaming services all around.
