Manchester’s Adam Hopper & The Wimps returned with the new tune “Like Dancers Do” along with the news of them signing to cult Sheffield-based indie label Bingo Records (The Bug Club, Melin Melyn, Wesley Gonzalez).

The single is a beautiful love song with charming lyrics, delivered with earnestness and sincerity that create a sense of intimacy and authenticity. It is out now digitally and will also be released on a limited edition sea glass transparent almost-green 7″ vinyl, backed with another track titled “Robin Hood’s Bay”.

Formerly of now-defunct post-punk outfit Blanketman, Manchester singer/songwriter Adam Hopper carries on with his solo career, and releases the new song “Free To Roam” today.

Produced by Rob Kirwan (Hozier, U2, PJ Harvey), the track demonstrates Hopper’s talent and ability to craft a catchy and emotionally resonant tune with simple yet effective instrumentation. A true masterclass in creating a memorable indie ballad!

Together with the release comes a 16mm music video directed by Catherine Jablonski, which features Hopper musing by the hills and streams of Hardcastle Crags, near Hebden Bridge.
