Dama Scout bring a bitter kick to their sweet hooks on "Sugar"
London/Glasgow three-piece Dama Scout have unfurled "Sugar", a new preview of their self-titled debut EP due in November.
Despite the sweet moniker, "Sugar" is a spiky sliver of noise full of thorn-encrusted riffs and red-eyed percussion. The vocals from frontwoman Eva Liu echo do have a sweetness to them, but it's not exactly Candy Land here.
"We wrote 'Sugar' after re-watching Adam and Joe Go Tokyo, inspired by some the exhilaratingly chaotic bands on the show," the band explain. "It is a simple song with moments of bedlam interjected throughout. We enjoy juxtapositions like 'sugary' sweet melodies over slightly disconcerting music. 'Sugar' is our humble attempt to recreate the unusual mix of music crammed into a short space of time akin to the Japanese bands that inspired it."
Dama Scout play London's The Waiting Room on 16 November.
