Wotts are bringing a taste of the ‘Sunnyside’ to brighten the cold autumn nights.
Canadian alternative duo Watts are not afraid to experiment with sound and mood. Determined to constantly evolve and grow, vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Jayem and guitarist Ricky 100 are moving away from their hip-hop beginnings towards a more indie-pop sound. The resulting fusion of genres is a kaleidoscopic explosion, sure to elicit a full-hearted emotional response that the band are looking for. Watts’s latest track, ‘Sunnyside’, comes hot on the heels of the album Colonies, and looks towards a string of impeding releases that will continue their genre-bending journey.
A self-described shout out to “feel[ing] good about life again” and “enjoying a silver lining”, ‘Sunnyside’ opens with unmistakably upbeat glistening synths, ushering in a palpably summery feel. Breezy vocals surf through waves of sugar-coated retro groove, gradually making their way towards the trippy psychedelic conclusion. Despite the band’s deliberate move away from hip-hop, the spoken bridge still contains hints of the genre, bringing their journey full-circle and melding together the past and the present.
‘Sunnyside’ is a truly synesthetic track, making us see, hear and taste burst of shimmering colour.
