With the abundance of new releases each week it can be difficult to sift through the shit in search of the gold, so Fuse has handpicked some of the musical highlights for you.
Splashh
Splashh are back with a new single out November 5 called ‘Vacation’ and yet again these Aussie boys fail to disappoint. We love their hazy-pop sound and this track also introduces a slightly darker style. The repetitve lyrics “I wanna go where nobody knows” are insanely infectious. You can catch them supporting Spector at the Leadmill later this month.
A brand new single from experimental four-piece Animal Collective has captured our attention this week. The track ‘Applesauce’ has a slow-paced, fuzzy melody but mixes this up a bit with frantic, fast vocals. The track is available for digital download November 12.
We are really liking the new album Total Loss from How To Dress Well and his new single ‘& It Was You’ is a definite highlight. The vocals are absolutely stunning and his style is such a refreshing take on R&B. Previous singles have had a more somber and melancholy feel but this track is full of life.
Swim Deep
Swim Deep are another band who’ve been on our radar a lot recently. Their first single ‘Honey’ is out November 5 and sounds like it is from a different
era. A sound reminiscent of early Smashing Pumpkins mixed with the synth pop 80s sound of Duran Duran. It sounds weird, but we promise you it works.
Finally we bring you a punk rock cover of Carly Rae Jepson ‘Call Me Maybe’ by Upon This Drawing. You have to listen to it to believe it and you can download
it for free from punkgoes.com.
