ENIGMATIC POP EXPERIMENTALIST PUZZLE RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE

The follow-up to the twitchy Godlike and the pulsating Trial By Fire – the stunning videos to which have combined views of 400,000 – Comedown is sleek electro-pop that draws from the Brazilian-born, London-based artist’s smorgasbord of influences (from the Pet Shop Boys to Kate Bush to Bronksi Beat to Depeche Mode) and spins them into a modern tale of fractured love.

Gurr catches the beat in “Moby Dick” video
“Moby Dick” − less RiotGrrrl, more of a soundtrack to a California trip, yet unmistakably Gurr. With their new single the Berlin duo step away from power chords and grunginess, towards harmonic west coast pop which is yet as charmingly cynical as one would expect from these ladies. And so singer Andreya currs through “Moby Dick”, breathless and almost tender. Guitar and bass subtly and melodically illustrate the background without stealing that intimate moment from the voice, and so “Moby Dick” strums away easily and fluffily.

“‘Projection’ is a song about feeling unqualified to be the way you see yourself because of the way other people see you, and how other people’s perception of your identity can warp your sense of self. It’s about being exhausted with the pressure of fitting in and throwing a shiny, glorious middle finger to those who doubt you.” – Ben Hopkins, PWR BTTM

The Detroit rock outfit—Josh LeMay [vocals], Sammy Boller [lead guitar], John Dudley [drums], and Sam Collins [bass]—deliver arena-size anthems fueled by intricate musicianship on their full-length debut album, State of Mind [Wind-up Records]. Striking a balance between edgy grunge attitude a la Stone Temple Pilots and bluesy alternative expanse reminiscent of Kings of Leon, their knack for a hook immediately resonated with a growing national fan base.
