For almost 2 years, KAWALA fans have actually been patiently waiting on brand-new music. The North London attire launched their launching album, ‘Better With You’, in 2022, and ever since things have actually been peaceful. Now they’re back, and it was well worth the wait.
The guys inform us ‘American Adrenaline’ has to do with the battle of going after the ‘American Dream’, which after a while feels far and phony (“Tell me it’s a genuine thing”). More typically, it’s about desire, and desiring something that is hard or near difficult to get.
As the title recommends, it’s like an interesting adrenaline rush. It’s brief however sweet, with the only unfavorable being that it’s over in less than 3 minutes. Because of that, it’s one to let yourself choose. “Throw me the secrets”– you’re in control now.
Not to do an injustice to the band as an entire, however I believe KAWALA’s signature noise owes a lot to the wonderful soft vocals of their frontman, Jim Higson. I’m persuaded there’s no other sound rather like theirs today.
Whilst this introduce a self-proclaimed brand-new age for KAWALA, much of their tunes have a summery, unwinded feel. This remains in keeping with that, whilst still setting the phase for something brand-new. Colourful, groovy, and positive– it’s the ideal method to begin the brand-new period.
I got a sneak peek of this tune, along with their other approaching music, at their Rehearsal Shows in November 2023. They were merely classic KAWALA, and the brand-new period of KAWALA can’t come quickly enough.
KAWALA will be supporting Bombay Bicycle Club at O2 Guildhall in Southampton on Saturday 17th February. They’ve likewise teased brand-new programs for 2024.
American Adrenaline is out now through EMI Records. You can enjoy the lyric video listed below.
