Here’s some unique bedroom-pop energy from South African act aboynamedblu. In what he describes as a letter to his younger self, “BLU SIDE OF THE MOON” interestingly navigates several moods – throughout the course of the song, you’ll feel contemplative, menacing, and then kind of like you want to dance. Living at the crux of depressive bedroom-pop, cold post-punk, and strong indie-pop melody, “BLU” pairs crooner vocals, swimmy guitars, and fuzzy distortion textures into something truly unique.
