WL//WH - OCTOBER 2021 // Shoegaze /Dream Pop /Psychedelic /Indie Pop

MARCH 2022 PART IV

Live n'local

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 - Pink and Red

Lyrics:

Said you were going for some air
Said you were going for some air
You said you’d be right back
What were you trying to smoke a nine mile long cigarette?
I couldn’t sleep, I swore that you’d come home
Starting to think that the last time that I saw you
I was really talking to a ghost	          
Lint of a masterpiece in your black eyes there’s a fleck of white

Feels like I’m breathing too much air
It’s a poor mans high
If you weren’t so busy dying for a living
If you weren’t so busy trying to scare me away
You could’ve really been something great
Lint of a masterpiece in your black eyes there’s a fleck of light

Feels like I’m headed for clouds that won’t catch my fall
Oh the world won’t stop when you start to unravel
Used to sit on the water’s opposite side
Staring, imagining what it’d be like          			
Where we’re speeding, slapping the road, blue smoke pours out from your ride
Lint of a masterpiece in your black eyes there’s a fleck of white

I gotta get out of here
I  gotta get out of here!

Lint of a Masterpiece

Mauv shares new single Manual on London/L.A. based label all my thoughts. Despite the infancy of the project, the London via the midlands artist has made waves of late, with recent single Change Will Come Anyway - a duet with Pixx - generating a buzz which saw the song on heavy rotation at BBC 6Music and eventually added to their playlist. 

New single Manual is an intense and explorative experience, showcasing Mauv's talents both as a lyricist and producer. Known in the South London scene - while still very much a newcomer - Mauv is something of an outlier, as his previous singles, including the hugely catchy Pillow Talk demonstrate. 

On the release Mauv says "I’d been in London for a year when I began this, and through the sudden intensity of city life I had a lot of pent up emotions and experiences that I wanted to put into this music"

Expect to hear more music from Mauv very soon. 
He will also perform at The Old Blue Last in London on November 18th.
