hazy waters – “attention”

/

London-based trio hazy waters beckon for attention — and certainly succeed in doing so — with the fervent rock success “attention.” Their debut single builds with satiating impact from bass-heavy intrigue into buzzing guitars and a series of memorable hooks. “I want you in my mind,” dreamy vocal entrancement compels amidst jangling guitar momentum, shifting thereafter as a more elongated vocal builds into a lush vocal backing. The spoken-word vocal suaveness melds with a clanging bass line for an especially inviting sequence, arriving into a satiating finale with enjoyable shades of Wolf Alice.

The band describes the release as “about the cycle of seeking validation from someone who weaponises your vulnerability – equal parts rage and release.” This is a fantastic debut that certainly has us anticipating what’s next from hazy waters.

This and other tracks featured this month can be streamed on the updating Obscure Sound’s ‘Emerging Singles’ Spotify playlist.

The track is also featured in the genre-based, best-of Spotify compilation Emerging Indie Rock.
