The Paranoyds drop a 'Memory Foam' single before SXSW dates and Euro tour

Words: Ellie Ward 

After we first heard 'Carnage Bargain' last summer, Little Indie has been hooked on Los Angeles four-piece The Paranoyds.

Now ahead of appearances this month at SXSW and followed by a European tour, they have unearthed an outtake from their 'Carnage Bargain' album recording session, the band ruminates on the tedium and loss of innocence that comes with adulthood on the playful 'Memory Foam'. The track the band describe as "about the loss of innocence and transition into adulthood, about both the pride and sadness that can come from making an 'adult” purchase'."
