Hugh

Music collective Hugh have shared 'Direction', a brand new track about losing faith. It's pensive with lots of emotion and an appropriately subdued production. Oh, and stick around for the gorgeous piano solo at the end. - 405.com

The co-vocalist explains that Hugh's latest slice of R&B-laden electro-pop takes inspiration from his early days in the band - once riddled with exhausting 12-hour bar shifts.

"Nerves would be shot at the end and arguments with each other/customers were common place," Idehen says.

"We had to cheer ourselves up, a common saying would be 'No long face, you'll laugh about it later.'"

The London quartet - completed by co-vocalist Izzy Brooks, guitarist Tino Kolarides and producer Andy Highmore - has long kept our attention since sensual cut "I Can’t Figure You Out" dropped in July 2014.

Opening with an atmospheric synth arpeggio, "Look Back In Laughter" soon evolves into a full on trip-hop experience, featuring lyrics inspired by those times past: "I really know how it feels to be stressed / it all blows up in your face", Idehen and Brooks bounce off each other. - Line Of Best Fit

The quartet that is Hugh met one night in London bar, and discovering they shared a mutual love for music. Thank goodness for that, because so far they've produced nothing but gems.

"I Don't Like You" is the second track off the London band's forthcoming EP. It's a slow-burning, dream pop track that stays true to one of the band's major early influences: Beach House. The end result is certainly something we can get behind. - Indieshuffle
