EVER since they were teenagers, breaking down songs by The Darkness into their component parts and piecing them back together on a four-track tape recorder, Rachael and Paul Swinton have shared a common creative language.

But by consciously breaking out of their comfort zone, Cloth - who perform at TRNSMT next month have embraced their idiosyncrasies, forged new creative connections and pushed their sound to new heights.
