Aficionados of The Dudley Corporation's usual tricks-bag of jagged stop-start pop might be surprised to learn that they're also good at the softly, softly approach. Brilliant, in fact. Surprised? We were. Charmed? You will be - if you aren't already enamored of the possibly ironically-named 'Quick', taken from The Lonely World Of The Dudley Corporation, the Corpo's fab debut of last year.

To celebrate their current tour and upcoming new single (of which, more later on hotpress.com), we present the video for 'Quick'. A nature walk is the setting... creatures great and small are lovingly scrutinised... the tiny, fine minutiae of human interaction explored… and a gorgeous, fragile, cello-dripping, not-at-all-quick good time is had by all. Enjoy...
