“Darkness” is the latest single from Catbear; a duo based out of London who are very much here to show you how to embrace the gloom. They previously asked us “Who Cares?” back in May (here) and we had nothing but good feels there (we DO care, duh). The synth is the star here, occasionally playing second fiddle to the hauntingly beautiful vocals from Zoe Konez. Appropriately, the band describes the track as “The Cure scoring the film Drive” and I agree with that 110%.   The Soundcloud embed for “Darkness” can be found below, as well as over on Spotify. This is a surefire addition to your fall playlist and one you should honestly keep the rest of the year too. For whatever reason, spoopy time equals post-punk music and you know what? That’s just fine.   CATBEAR · Darkness

“Who Cares?” Well, you should. CATBEAR? Not so much (but they really do, just listen). Their latest single, named, you guessed it, “Who Cares?” is their third release off of a single I’ll let you guess the name of.   Crafting 80’s tinged indie pop tracks is apparently Zoe and Sarah’s specialty – it will make you feel right at home, what with the drum machine and synth. If the lyrics remind you of a certain feeling that you can’t quite a finger on, there’s an explanation for that!

The south Londoners really emit a retro feel a la Madonna’s “Material Girl,” Bananarama’s “Cruel Summer,” or a-ha’s seminal 80’s gem “Take on Me,” but with that current, 2024 era indie charm. Speaking to the track Zoe had this to say: “Rush is probably our most upbeat and enthusiastic song yet….we were focusing on the warm, carefree days of Summer, where energy is endless and you’re excited to start each day. Thinking about times we’ve felt a ‘rush’.” You can hear “Rush” down below, embedded below, because I know you’re probably too lazy to look for new music[...]
