Watch: Hugh - "I Can't Figure You Out" [Premiere]
My son was born during the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. Suffice to say, the most entertaining thing to pass our groggy, overnight woken hours was previously recorded Olympic coverage and, for better or worse, we seemingly caught at least a snippet of every event.
One of these was horse dressage. Me being ignorant of practically anything equine, it was silly; horses lightly toe-tapping around a muddy pen, but I now know what was missing – the drama of two employing their horses as weapons of sexual tension soundtracked by Hugh’s “I Can’t Figure You Out”.
Lo and behold, the London genre-eluding collective’s title track to their upcoming EP tantalises with its sniping, rubbery synth line, Izzy Brooks’ reedy vocals exuding a sexiness that is at once playful and profound. Marrying up magnetically with the visuals of a couple teasing each other on horses, the track simmers on the edge of jaw-clenching lust until it boils over in its final minute when Brooks untethers her heretofore impressive restraint.
“I can’t figure you out”, indeed; the sentiment has been rarely more thrilling than with Hugh.
End the teasing for yourself and pick up Hugh’s I Can’t Figure You Out EP on 21 July (stream it in full, here), and catch the release party at The Waiting Room in London 23 July.
