“Gun”
Gun (7″ Single) (out 7/15 on Virgin)
Another day, another bubbly earworm of a single from the Glasgow synth-poppsters. While we are still waiting for a full-length LP, the young trio has proven that they can write the shit out of a pop song. Driven by a delicious, sacharine synthwork and a New Order-style bass-line, “Gun” is an anthemic sing-along, that is along the same lines of their undeniable previous singles “The Mother We Share” and “Recover.” Vocalist Lauren Mayberry’s seductive, cherubic chirp is the perfect compliment to the band’s nuclear hooks and youthful earnestness. Just pure joy.
