"to erupt once more"
The evocative track Cubed by INU INU based out of Utrecht, Netherlands rides on a pulsating mid tempo beat and pristine synth lines with a bit of dirt on them. The bass and drum groove is deep and cagey, a stalking animal of sound and the interweaving synths (and soon to arrive backing vocals) are so cool that as Amber Nefken's vox glide perfectly in I felt sort of transported to other places and times. The tones definitely feel a bit mid-80's in the best possible way but with modern touches. I flashed on the Cure and Depeche Mode with a tinge Beach House. The songs sways but falls away to reveal other sides, the dream expands only to erupt once more. Love the vibe. I want to drive along the coast and listen to this as the sun rises.
Of the song INU INU offer:
Cubed tells about the empty shell that most of our lives represent. Life can feel fake, but if you find someone you can share the emptiness with, you might go places where you feel love(d).
INU INU is Samuel Leeuwenburg (Keys + Guitar), Amber Nefkens (Vocals + Bass guitar), Robin Wickham (Guitar) and Tim Giesen (Drums).
Cubed dropped on February 27th and the Official Video drops now.
