Geowulf - Great Big Blue (2018)

Geowulf release their debut album, Great Big Blue. The duo first wormed their way into tastemakers' hearts in 2016 with 'Saltwater', a track that would go on to soundtrack a national-running Corona ad in North America and has racked up over 8 million Spotify plays to date. The duo returned this summer with their first EP, Relapse, followed by performances at Latitude Festival and a sold-out headline show at the Sebright Arms, as well as support slots with Portugal The Man, Tove Stryke, JONES and Dagny. Their debut album, Great Big Blue, has been a long-time coming. Within its 11 tracks, Great Big Blue elegantly cruises through glittering guitar lines and melodies as soft as sand, calling to mind the poise of Lana Del Rey, and the ethereal beauty of Mazzy Star. The crystalline synth-pop of 'Drink Too Much' laments those nights when a few too many get you into trouble, inspired by one particularly heavy night Star had in Sweden. "I got in a fight with my ex-boyfriend and then the morning packed up and left," she recalls. "It was pretty dramatic."
