Mischievous London duo WOOZE are back with a new single called “Bittersweet Timpani” – and that excellent pun of a title is just the start of its infectious silliness. They say:
“A song about walking home alone, dejected and rejected. We thought the pitiful, pity-party lyrics would juxtapose nicely with the muscular glam-rock bravado of the music.”
Never ones to shy away from going big, WOOZE have provided their sad-sack stagger home with a big, bold riff, reminiscent of Electric Six’s chart-smashing greats. The sheer strength of the fuzzed-up backing and growling chorus turns their dejected slouch into a catwalk strut, muscles bristling as they sing about how “sobbing alone to sound of timpani”. The lyrics are full of woe, but the sonics are primed for a 100mph sunshine drive, top down, speakers blasting, no fucks given. It’s quite the combo, and it’s deadly addictive.
