Scunthorpe-based five-piece BUNGALOW have had support from the BBC Radio 1 and Spotify Editorial playlists across their first three releases, the band are looking ahead, once again showing their impressive sound with new track ‘The Flicknife’.
Returning with a glittery melancholy that is as nostalgic as it is refreshing and new, ‘The Flicknife’ pairs the satisfactory rhythms of acoustic guitar, bass and drums all in sync, with reverberant and soaring synth melodies and counters. Throughout the mysticism and awe-inspiring instrumentals, the band litters bittersweet vocals, using transparent layering to lace it in haziness. The track rounds out with an energised electric guitar solo, capturing and expanding on the melodies that came before with a new perspective.
On the single, lead member of the band, and writer and producer of the track, Joe Russell Brown shares, “The Flicknife is a true story, about a friend getting a knife pulled on him in McDonald’s car park in Didsbury or somewhere exciting like that. Everyone was fine. It was recorded 5 years after it was written, which is not usually fun but came out very easy. It’s us trying to sound like Bruce Springsteen and probably missing the mark. Still good though.”
‘The Flicknife’ is available now, check it out!
