unouomedude – Frequency // Song Of The Day #240

It is strange how the weather can dictate your listening patterns. For me, the last few days of unseasonal warmth have meant that major keys have certainly been in favour.

Step forward unouomedude, a band whose name instantly precludes them from achieving any mainstream radio play.

What they lack in naming nouse, though, they make up for with big, smiling pop songs. ‘Frequency’ is all charmingly distorted Californian guitars, childhood rhyme vocals, cathedral drums – and a chorus that will refuse to leave your brain until summer is well and truly over.

Normally, something this saccharine would have me gagging. But ‘Frequency’ is such simple fun, executed so well (and the weather is so good), that it really is impossible not to love it.

‘Frequency’ is out now on Old Flame.
