Glasgow duo HYYTS add their euphoric pop sheen to trials of being one of many "Lonely People"
If you're not already feeling nostalgic for a pre-COVID night out you will when you hear the Scottish duo's nostalgic tearjerker "Lonely People".
There's something special about the way Glasgow band HYYTS always manage to create something euphoric despite marrying their synth-drenched pop with sadness. Wtih another winner under their belts "Lonely People" could be their strongest outing to date.
Vocalist Adam explains “[it's] about growing up and realising that you should always leave yourself open to be hurt because any kind of happy life needs some sadness in it. It’s better to feel anything than nothing. It’s a coming of age song and basically a wee bit of advice I wish someone had given me when I started going out and getting full of booze and drugs.”
Even with Adam's words of warning there's not much that can bring down the buzz of the track's pulsing production. Creating an evocative soundscape reminiscent of the club itself, Adam introduces "the loud and dark places where the floors stick to your feet" and never looks back. The track is stark portrait of being alone and feeling lost despite being surrounded by other people who are feeling all the same things as you.
Previewing the track live, as part of their BBC Scotland Tune Session, the electro-pop duo's energy is infectious. Best friends and flatmates, the pair have spent lockdown working on new music as well as entertaining their followers on Instagram a load of content including tropical house and DnB reworks of earlier single "The Low Sound".
While their genre-traversing style may not see the band officially release their ad-hoc reimaginings but certainly shows just how versatile they are as musicians and composers.
