London-based pop crew Strong Asian Mothers have shared infectious new trap-laced single "Don't Know Why".
The genre-flitting trio are following up their ace Animal EP and last year's Lynx Africa EP, which boasts tracks such as "Out Of Love" and "The More That I".
"Don't Know Why" is buoyed by rampant trap percussion and kids' TV show-style chimes - it's got Strong Asian Mothers' trademark bolshy synths in spades, with entwined harmonies and bass gloop adding to the moreish mayhem.
Strong Asian Mothers have a handful of festival dates in the chamber for the rest of the summer, with slots at Latitude, Standon Calling, and Leefest booked. Check out the full details.
