Watch The Grace Wonderful Video

Grace Wonderful videoFile this one under Bands You Kind Of Like Now But Are Prepared To Be Pretty Sick Of By Christmas. We get the creeping suspicion that Grace are going to be pretty enormous this year, so now's the time to get in quick and quite like them before everyone else does.

It's chilling to think that a song like Wonderful can only be Grace's second single; the level of production – and quality of video – that has gone into Wonderful suggests that someone is putting a lot of money behind Grace, and the band are starting to get noticed where it matters. Barefoot Terrahawk puppet Jo Wiley and indie cyborg Zane Lowe have already been playing Grace songs, and the band's last single made it into The Times' Songs Of 2006 list. Having said all that, though, Wonderful by Grace does sound a little bit like it was put together by a committee – "Like Radiohead, yeah? Only without the wonky eyes. Can we make them sound a bit more like Keane? But thin. Imagine the potential of a thin Keane" – but maybe when Grace's album comes out in the summer they'll sound a little bit more like themselves.

I for one am shuddering at the potential of a thin Keane. How can it be stopped?
