Words: Ellie Ward
Hull's Low Hummer may have had to curtail their gig and festival plans, but they have still been beavering away on new material - like their latest big single ‘Picture Bliss’, out now via Dance To The Radio Records.
It follows on the heels of 'The Real Thing’ from a few months ago, and sees them continue to push further into synths and electronics.
‘Picture Bliss’ comes as a fuzzy three-minute array of crunchy guitar riffs, big hooks, and the dual vocal dynamics of Daniel Mawer and Aimee Duncan.
“Picture Bliss was the only song I brought fully formed into Low Hummer," says Mawer. "I’ve got used to cutting and pasting parts together and building layers of songs from drums, bass and keys, but 'Picture Bliss' came to me within twenty minutes of picking up an acoustic guitar and was easy to finish.
"I wrote the song about two strangers who find each other moments before the world self-destructs, they realise how lucky their lives have been, but still feel cheated to have only just met each other moments before the planet collapses. I tend not to write happy songs…. but I’d like to think it serves as a nice optimistic song if you don’t bother to read into the subject matter!”
