Hot off the trail of the In The Undergrowth EP, SUDS return with ‘Paint My Body’. The new single promises to blow your eardrums to smithereens, but also offers the announcement of debut album The Great Overgrowth too. Swings and roundabouts.
As they detailed an intense battle to emerge from the thick undergrowth, SUDS make the most of their time in the vast atmosphere by firing on all cylinders. Flooding the airwaves with Dinosaur Jr. levels of fuzz is a great way to start, and the open-hearted documentation of self-reflection helps them leave a lasting impression too. It makes you feel like you’ve known the band for years, while their sounds remains fresh-faced and close to falling apart (in the best way).
‘Paint My Body’ is an exhilarating song that makes me an immediate fan of SUDS. It wastes no time injecting all sorts of personality and vulnerability into the mix before its light-hearted refrain comes and goes. They have emerged as a new favourite, and I cannot wait to hear more of their time in The Great Overgrowth.
