Fanclub dazzle with the jangling indie-pop of "Uppercut"
Texan three-piece Fanclub, comprised of Mike Lee, Leslie Crunkilton, and Daniel Schmidt, bonded over a love of dreamy indie. Now they're delivering the goods on new single "Uppercut".
"Uppercut" jangles with fuzzy, sun-drenched guitars over driving and appropriately punchy percussion. Crunkilton's vocal – reminiscent of Wolf Alice's Ellie Rowsell – is the super-sweet icing on the cake, weaving a delicious melody occasionally clipped and twisted in production.
The bright new single arrives accompanied by a video, which was directed by Shannon Wiedemeyer and shot and edited by Vanessa Pla.
Wiedemeyer explains of the video – a hazy contrast to the song's upbeat feel – that "The 'Uppercut' video tells the story of ghostliness in the context of heartache and moving on."
