Busy preparing their debut album for its April release on Bad Sneakers, the 39Steps represent a jazzy blend of soul and hip-hop.

With the album produced by Kato, if this is anything to go by BlackPlastic is rather excited - title track (and single) Coming Clean sounds like Portishead if they spent less time strung out in suburban Bristol and more time performing caberet in smoke filled jazz clubs and with something to feel genuinely guilty about. The quality of the production oozes sophistication and Laura Fowle's vocals out-class all those artsy female singer-songwriters currently propping-up the charts.

The single is available now on eMusic, 7digital and iTunes.
