The Boy Least Likely To are Peter and Jof, two terribly polite English gents who make very pleasant pop songs. They are friends with James Blunt, but please don't hold that against them.

Peter and Jof met at school in Wendover, a small village in Buckinghamshire. Their debut album, 'The Best Party Ever' (2005), was self-recorded in the countryside using cheap instruments and toys bought at car-boot sales and The Early Learning Centre. But while their songs evoke the twee whimsy of early Belle & Sebastian or The Magic Numbers, they are anything but flimsy; deceptively dense soundscapes and tight songwriting build sweet Lego-pop that'll hold your heart to ransom.

As a bonus, recent single 'Be Gentle With Me' has possibly the cutest video since Blur lost track of their milk carton; stylised cartoon puppets bounce themselves silly on toy instruments in a field, while Jof is jerked about on strings like a Thunderbird - making it somewhat tricky to woo his love interest...

Tell us about your new single. What's the story behind it?
Jof: "It's a song about lying awake at night, worrying about death. About insects creeping up on you. It's about those moments when you're really happy and then suddenly you realise that one day you're going to die and that scares you. It's about not being afraid of being happy. About being fragile. And getting old. Stuff like that. And picking peaches off cherry trees."

Cute video - who comes up with the visual ideas?
Jof: "The director of the video, Ed Holdsworth, came up with the basic idea, and
then we spent a few weeks going over the way the video would look with him: what the puppets would look like, how they would move. Stuff like that. It's really important for us to have a good video. We'd rather be known for our videos and record sleeves and things like that than for our live show. We want to be that sort of a pop group."

It's great that your music's so hard to pigeonhole. But does that make things tough for you guys? Which other bands do you fit in with?
Jof: "We're just a pop group. Even if we don't sound exactly like other bands, there are still a lot of bands around that we feel an affinity with. Bands that share our pop sensibilities I guess, such as The Research, The Chalets, We Show Up On Radar and The Pipettes. All those bands seem to have the same sort of approach to pop music as we do, so I guess we fit in with them a bit. But I never really worried about fitting in. I was always happiest on my own, hugging the touchline nervously, hoping that no one noticed me or asked me to join in with them."
