It Sound: “The General Cue”
It Sound’s “The General Cue” comes to us from the recently released Hard Pop for Blue Trees, an LP lovingly recorded on a 4-track in the recently discovered borough known as “Brooklyn” ((via Seattle) via Varna, Bulgaria). The well-established combination of fuzzy drum machine and fuzzy guitar based instrumentation lends itself to the format, but that mile deep, near Mancunian bass is just not something you’d expect from the lo-fi aesthetic. It’s a quick, direct, and intensely harmonic piece that leads to your foot tapping, head bobbing, and even some light humming.
Hard Pop for Blue Trees is streaming and avail for purchase from End Up Records, keep your ears peeled for the Prince reference and very well done guitar interlude on the album!
