Lyrics:
Maggie’s on the water blocking out the dial tone, she waves, he nods.
Standing in the harbour looking at the old boats, how do they float?
It’s not a conversation that he wants,
but she needs an explanation, of sorts.

Standing in the corner taking off her wet clothes, he looks, she knows.
Studying the hallway looking at the photos of him and her. 
It’s not a conversation that he wants,
But she needs an explanation that works.
He had all the right intentions at first,
but she needs an explanation, of course.

Dial Tone

The 'anthemic' track odes to the distress that follows 'mixed-signals' within 'love' and relationships. Captured through the passionate, angsty instrumentals and moody vocals of the quintet.

Hush Puppy’s debut single, “Too Cold” – recorded/mixed by Dave Parkin out of, BlackBird Sound Studio. With mastering by Brian Lucey of, Magic Garden Mastering.

Too Cold

Day & Age

The songs on Things That I Confuse pretty much wrote themselves in a frenzy. Still, they sound more Spunsugar than ever. It's still as timeless and nostalgic as it is fresh. The four songs consist of two more poplike tracks and two that have kept the more noisy aggressive sound that has become a staple of the band. Now there's an added layer of an icy lo-fi feel. References to giallo films and Japanese movie monsters work to tell stories of close relationships, trauma and regret that keeps one up at night. Every second is though trough, there's no unnecessary fluff. Every note serves a purpose on this EP.

Spunsugar - Hatchet

“Queens” is the first single from Carver Commodore’s second LP. The song is about and for anyone who has felt marginalized or held down by the people who make decisions.

Queens

ITALIANO 

Se ti sei res* conto che il tuo ex non era così cool come sembrava, questo pezzo è per te: racconta di due 20enni queens del "not give a fuck" che combinano casini in giro mischiando italiano e inglese su un basso che ti fa battere il <3. Alessia Labate e Beatrice Quinta, artiste emergenti del sud con base a Milano legate da amicizia e passione per il pop: Quinta scrive di sesso e sentimenti con classe e onestà, Alessia ha già raccolto consensi in tutta Europa e ondeggia fra pop e EDM internazionale e debutta in italiano con questo pezzo.

ENGLISH

If you realized your ex isn't as cool as u though, this song is definitely for u: it's about two 20yrolds messin' around and not givin' a fvck while mixing Italian & English on a naughty bass line you'll love beyond lyrics. Alessia Labate & Beatrice Quinta, southern Italian up&coming are bringing a new wave to Milano: Quinta's honest and raw lyrics about sex and feeling are highly relatable & Alessia has a natural international feel to her music being recognized all around Europe in the EDM world.

Having  already delivered one of the most exhilarating and rounded debut EPs of the year in Microcosmic Things, Leeds quartet Eades prove they’re not ones to rest on their laurels with stirring new single ‘I Want More’ – out via Bam Bam Records on September 9th.

Once again showcasing their chameleonic approach to guitar music tradition, the track starts as a nouvelle country influenced slow burner, before exploding with rabble-rousing intent into buoyant indie, taking a left turn at classic rock. As ever, these touchstones are distilled into a unique, forward-looking sound by their self-production – the final result a distinctly modern sound from this coalescence of genres.

The themes of the track are a new take on a well-worn trope too – the antagonistic but necessary relationship between a musician and 9-5 drudgery, as lead vocalist Harry Jordan explains:
“When we wrote ‘I Want More’ I was in a pretty strange place, working a real dead end job just doing what I could to stay in Leeds and make music. I guess it reflects pretty well about how we all felt as musicians - finishing uni, feeling a bit lost and wanting more from life than the rat race our friends around us were joining.”

Perhaps accordingly, the track is a  roll towards euphoria in its escapism – a vessel through which the four-piece invite you into their gang, as synth player and percussionist Dan Clifford-Smith follows on:

“It instantly hits you in the feels - when we first started jamming it, it wasn't long for us to figure out it was going to be one of our favourite tunes. The coolest thing about it is the way we play it live, everyone goes absolutely mental and locks in so deep with one another. Can't wait to start gigging again once lockdown ends, catch us live in 2069.”

Arriving close to fully-formed in intention across sound and message, their breezy self-confidence, born of time spent cutting their teeth around a fertile scene in Leeds, has started turning  heads across the board, with FADER, NME, DIY, KCRW, The Line of Best Fit, DORK Magazine and more lining up to call themselves fans, and predicting big things.

‘I Want More’ is the new single from Eades - out on September 9th via Bam Bam Records.
