Endorsement from Zane Lowe and a forthcoming in-store appearance at Urban Outfitters will strike fear into the hearts of some and warm the cockles of others. Glasgow indie troupe Parka bear such credentials and have assimilated the notions ‘indie’ and ‘disco’ into one fidgety dancefloor botherer called ‘Disco Dancer’, a song of such addictive qualities to render said Kiwi radio foghorn into a huffing, bellowing frenzy. King 1111's.: Glasgow. 1 1 Jan; Urban Outfitters. G/(IStflNt’, 1;} Jan.
