Kudu Blue 2017 HIGH RES

Kudu Blue share "Sugar Lemz", the far from sour first cut from their upcoming EP

Brighton four-piece Kudu Blue blur the boundaries with the chilled-out, distorted electronica of new single "Sugar Lemz".

Taken from their forthcoming EP Shaded, "Sugar Lemz" blends rich R&B-influenced melodies with sooting electronic production. Sitting somewhere between Låpsley, FKA twigs and the band's earlier work, Kudu Blue really step up with this new single.

"'Sugar Lemz' is probably our favourite track from the new EP. It's intentionally something a bit different from the other music we have put out," the band explain. "We wanted to make a chilled track that you could put on in the living room at 5am after a heavy night. The track is about coming in to your own and finding harmony with another. It’s also about the vulnerability of giving yourself fully to love, and the hesitation that can occur in reaching it.”

Written, recorded and produced entirely in the band's home studio in Brighton, "Sugar Lemz" showcases vocalist Clemintine Douglas' moving and soulful tone. The new single also lets us hear the band flexing their creative muscles as they push the boat out with all the intricate detail and delectable flourishes in the stuttering, but shimmering electronics which move to lift the often moody tone of the track.

"Sugar Lemz" is out now.
