Universal's Fiction Records have signed buzzy London band White Lies after what was reportedly a "fierce" A&R battle. Lots of A&Rs growling, presumably. Fiction Records' Jim Chancellor, who has recently become MD of the imprint, told Music Week: "I am over the fucking moon. I just think they are absolutely brilliant. The songs just jumped out at us the first time we heard them; great lyrics using lots of Eighties chops but in a brilliant new way. I can't really explain it. I'm still slightly in shock that we managed to get them".
