First & Last #7 - Signals

Last year the Mae Shi sadly split in half. Luckily the members who left went on to do different things. It was a bit complicated so I cleared things up with a diagram. Signals release their first double A-side single today. It's called 'Silverfish'/'What Dreams' on the ever reliable Moshi Moshi. I caught up with Jacob Cooper for a First and Last chat.
