Melbourne indie-pop sextet Love Migrate were originally known as Goodnight Owl, until they reasoned that there were enough animal named bands in the city already.

Although a number of Love Migrate's members come from local acts like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and Sleep Decade, the band's sound is entirely their own, at once open sounding and controlled. Love Migrate have been demoing their debut album for the last few months with Damien Weatherly, and plan on releasing it in early 2012.

Taken from the forthcoming (and unnamed) long player is the great opening single Little Kid. An immediate, upbeat and light-hearted track on the surface, Little Kid is also possessed of an underlying intensity that makes it linger –– and that makes us very keen to hear what comes next.
