The Southampton four-piece return with another example of why vibrant indie-pop is still king across the South. ‘Tongue Tied’ is the band’s first release of 2020 and is their debut offering from a studio-pairing with former Spring King frontman, Tarek Musa.
Following a brief yet punchy introduction of rhythmic bliss, Jay opens with “You got me thinking, this feeling’s enough, this feeling’s enough to stop me sinking, to keep me above...”. The track explores the tumultuous emotions of a relationship on the brink. Tenderly sung verses are laced with the lyrical desire to win back the love you once felt before the chorus slaps with an outburst of desperate pleas.
This release holds a distinct likeness to previous singles such as ‘Headstrong’ and ‘What If’, but offers fans a more anthemic sound. ‘Tongue Tied’ is a track made for the festival rounds this year.
We featured the band in our Sound of 2019 playlist on Spotify alongside Marsicans, Lauran Hibberd, Larkins and Sea Girls.

In April, the band are set to head out on a three-date South Coast, hitting the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Bristol with their infectious live energy. But if you can’t catch them there, they’re also playing at Suckerfest this weekend.
‘Tongue Tied’ is available to stream across all major platforms including Apple Music, Spotify and Soundcloud.
