South London DIY six-piece Blue Bendy share new single "Suspension"

08 August 2019, 09:02 | Written by Paige Sims

Former Goldsmiths students Blue Bendy draw on their DIY ethos to capture the raw sounds surrounding nostalgia and romance on "Suspension".

Unveiling their '90s-inspired track spliced with fizzy guitars and rough drums, the band's second single is a leisurely pop piece. While Arthur Nolan's vocals are enthralling, his gritty drawls provide a gravelly texture to the sedating melodies. Garnering a sense of warmth, "Suspension" offers a comforting presence with its subdued ferocity.

“‘Suspension’ is a profoundly wonky lament about a bridge,” say the band, “a celebration of the monolith on Humberside if you will. It was conceived out of a desire to communicate its enduring status as a symbol of romance, nostalgia and yearning.”

Bonding over their mutual love of Stereolab and '90s fashion, these alt-poppers have constructed an sophomore single ready to give Sports Team a run for their money.

"Suspension" is out today. Catch them live at The Windmill, Brixton on 9 August and Bermondsey Social Club on 30 October. Find Blue Bendy on Facebook.
