If you read my review of San Cisco’s excellent debut EP ‘Golden Revolver’ then you already know that I’m kind of a big fan of the teenage Perth band. It should come as no surprise then that I also really like their latest song (I think it’s been floating around for a while but I must have missed it), Awkward. The track is the first single from their upcoming second EP, which was recorded in Melbourne with producer Steven Schram, responsible for a few small bands like Little Red and The Cat Empire. Anyway, enough foreplay, check it out.
The track features the vocal debut of drummer Scarlett Stevens, and is built around a call and response pattern between her and lead singer Jordi. It’s another example of shimmering indie pop, but it has a bit of a goofy feeling to it as well. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, and it seems as if the band don’t, either. Grab it for free from Unearthed, I’m told it’s all the rage these days, and check out the band on Facebook.
Love the track, so catchy! Cassette blogged too!
