Husky Loops with Live4ever @ SXSW 2019 (Paul Bachmann / Live4ever)
Husky Loops have quickly followed up their ‘ultrarama’ EP.
Husky Loops have released their new single Acting Stupid today, offering up ‘a bizarre song about relationships ending’.
“It explores the concept of love being too good to be real,” the London-based trio said.
“I was interested in the contrast between feeling that fresh, spring-like excitement of a new hope and, fast-forward to the end, wishing you could be like the person that ends the relationship: meaning that you wish you could move on too and be, perhaps, a little colder and more careless.
Nowadays, the more logical approach is seen as the better approach, but we all act silly when we meet someone special, at any age and in any circumstance. I wanted to delve into that with this song. ‘Love sounds too good to exist’ and ‘Sometimes I wish I was more like you’ encapsulate the idea.
“My character loves showing care and romanticism, but once that is not returned, he is hit in the face by reality: a cold world where the innocence of love is seen as insignificant.”
“Musically, we were inspired by the passing of time and its grooves…how your mood and approach change and, therefore, tape machines, time modulation, and weird fluttery noises invaded the whole track.”
