New trio Spunsugar have been playing gigs around their
home base of Malmö, Sweden—including an opening slot for one of their major
influences, Nothing—and today release their debut track, “I Shouldn’t Care”, on
all major digital platforms.
A guitar texture like distant wind, thumping electronic
drums, and an arpeggio outlining a few building chords form an introduction offering
little foretoken of the song’s abrupt explosion into a torrent of noise and
melody as ear-splitting as it is sweet. An arcing, exquisite female vocal soon
appears to master the maelstrom and guide this crackling fuzz frenzy home.
Spunsugar return
to the studio this weekend to record a four-track EP that will likely include
“I Shouldn’t Care.” Good news.
