Description: First single from the Glasgow band's album "Zöe", out February 26th, 2021 via Trouble In Mind Records (www.troubleinmindrecs.com)

Great track, it would perhaps sound more catchy if the verse was more emotional, screaming, you know, to contrast chorus, calm and melodic and a bit monotonous (in a good way). Sound extremal in some ways, nice guitar reminds a bit of a British band Klaxons.

absolutely excellent stuff. https://everetttest.wordpress.com/2021/05/05/sixty-for-60-14-nightshift/

Following on from 2016's "Wordless Wonder" album, Minneapolis' Real Numbers are back with a brand new EP entitled "Brighter Then." Recorded over winter 2019/2020, the EP shows the band journeying deeper into straight-up indiepop than ever before. Where "Wordless Wonder" partook in lo-fi post-punk DIY pop thrills, "Brighter Then" revels in the more sophisticated sounds of the late 80s and *nails* it. The smart songs and crisp production echo Sarah Records favorites like The Wake and Brighter; while never straying too far from their scrappy DIY roots, Real Numbers have broadened their sound with assurance, and fans of Felt and the Field Mice will be pleased with the results.

Divisions

There are no divisions between things about to collapse
We are just collisions of every firing synapse
Is anything still missing? Life looks just like these
The fruits of the forbidden, The hidden life of trees

Twisting
On the brink of what's to happen
A silver note
Sings out across the ocean
Like trees 
We breathe in syncopation
Why can't we see
Where there are no divisions

There are no divisions between things about to collide
I am just a projection of all you are inside
Now we're lashed together in lives that look like these
The fruits of our forever, The hidden life of trees

Twisting
On the brink of what's to happen
A silver note
Sings out across the ocean
Like trees 
We breathe in syncopation
Why can't we see
That there are no divisions

We always fight
For what we have protected
The space we fill
Where our branches are directed
The life you have
So carefully selected
Is it really yours?
Our roots are all connected

Inspired by The Hidden Life Of Trees by Peter Wohlleben

What a year it was for Spunsugar. Among the most promising acts to emerge from Scandanavia in 2020, after a raft of glorous early singles drew plaudits from all quarters of the English press the Malmo-based trio released debut LP Drive-Through Chapel, which more or less lit up the boards in their native Sweden. Kicking off what will be a even bigger year for the gothgaze dreamers, January sees the release of their new single ‘You Never Turn Around’.


As Oscar Wilde once put it “There is no romance without tragedy” An uncharacteristically poptastic offering from the Swedes, ‘(You Never) Turn Around’ is synthwave melodrama about the great tragedy of lukewarm indifference. Like Alvvays covering Gary Newman, and ever so macabre – this is Spunsugar remember – it's the trio at their most unashamedly flamboyant. Sad never sounded so spectacular. 

"A little less steel, a little more silk: that was the mantra when "(You Never) Turn Around" was recorded. It’s the final song in a trilogy about being in a relationship with a person who’s emotionally unavailable ("Time Enough at Last" and "Dial Up Tone” from the debut album are the first and second parts). 

The lyrics are inspired by a hazy memory of a film. In the film the theory goes that when they say goodbye but turn to look at you one last time, you know it’s love.    
Make no mistake, this is a true Spunsugar song, so you’re guaranteed a meaty rock song. But this single is pop: dreamier than previous releases and crisper in its construction, with a compelling intro, groovier tempo and the sort of singalong feel that your granny might appreciate. Spunsugar might be accused of having sold our souls, but that don't bother us. We never had one to begin with." Spunsugar
