Club Kuru amp up the funk on woozy midnight jam "Giving In"

24 February 2017, 16:00 | Written by Laurence Day

Super-smooth electro outfit Club Kuru offer up the late-night beauty of "Giving In", a sleek pop ode with plenty of frantic funk vibes.

Crisp percussion underpins a gang of feral melodies, with warped basslines, sinewy guitars, and opiate synths all fading together. The track's a slick tune that lurks somewhere between Mac DeMarco and Frank Ocean, offering dislocation from reality and shivering intimacy.

"I was thinking of an old man looking back on his life and his relationships. The ménage à trois he still dreams of. The lost love and the bad choices he made," says the band's Laurie Erskine. "So this song's like a little snippet from his dreams and his nightmares. Where did he go wrong?"

"Giving In" will featuring on the London-based quintet's upcoming EP Waiting At The Corner - which will also include "Tonight" and "Not For Me".

Tracklist:

  1. Not For Me
  2. Tonight
  3. Ribbons
  4. Giving In
  5. Wednesday’s Boy
The Waiting At The Corner EP will be self-released on 20 March.
