If you're ready to take a mind-bending trip through a soundscape that's as colourful as your wildest dreams, then you're in for a treat. Subculture's latest single 'HYDRO,' featuring the incredible Chelou, is here to inject your playlists with a thrill. Set to release on August 18th under the umbrella of Twisted Hearts Records, 'HYDRO' is about to splash its way into your hearts.
Picture this: a thumping bassline that hits you right in the soul, nonchalant adlibs that make you want to shout along, and a whirlwind of psych-rock and trip-hop vibes that's bound to get your head nodding. It's giving Manchester, where’s Bez with his maracas vibes? And as if that wasn't enough, Subculture and Chelou have woven a tapestry of live drums, sirens, guitars, and chopped samples that's reminiscent of a wild music festival where genres collide in the best possible way.
But wait, there's more! The music video is an explosion of creativity that transports you to a 1960s heist movie with Subculture at the helm, leading an unexpected crew into a chase that pumps your veins with adrenaline. Director Harvey Williams-Fairley has truly outdone himself, giving us a visual treat that perfectly complements the track's raw energy. It’s got a great dose of humour thrown in for good measure too.
Oh, and did we mention that 'HYDRO' has already been tapped for a sync on the ITV show 'Maternal'? Subculture's musical prowess knows no bounds!
This is just the beginning. 'HYDRO' is the dazzling first glimpse into Subculture's upcoming EP 'Mauve Rain,' set to drop on September 22nd, 2023. And if that's not enough to keep you on the edge of your seat, brace yourself for a collaboration with the brilliant Hak Baker, scheduled to hit your speakers in the autumn. Plus, there's a whole lineup of singles ready to rock your world throughout 2024.
Subculture's words perfectly capture the essence of 'HYDRO': "This is a re-exploration of the psych, alternative, indie, and punk music that shaped my youth. Approaching rock music like a hip-hop producer, capturing that cross-section of energy and nostalgia." And it's exactly that innovative spirit that makes this track an absolute earworm.
So, buckle up and prepare to dive headfirst into the sonic ocean of 'HYDRO.' Subculture and Chelou have crafted a masterpiece that's not just a song but a journey.
Get ready to have this on repeat, it’s really quite addictive.
