Sitting somewhere between St Vincent, Blonde and hole, the alt-pop duo – Babe Club, are rocking through their catalogue of sound with their newest single ‘Automatic Love’.
Produced Dan Gealson (Grouplove) and engineered by TJ. Elias (Liz Cooper/Manchester Orchestra), Babe Club are turning heads all over the music industry with their sonic palette of euphoric post-pop and grunge.
‘Automatic love’ is a truly disjointed single of intent, filling the singles off-kilter cracks of sound with a much deeper and more direct meaning.
The deeper complexities of the lyrics give way to the tracks slow-burning power allowing the creaking guitar and eerie meandering bass to form this distinctive sound.
Babe Club added about the single that: “Automatic Love’ is about watching your partner have an affair. It’s about the darkness you get pulled into when you realize your partner is more interested in spending time on their phone than spending it with you. This was the first of many songs that we recorded with Dan and TJ at Big Trouble in Atlanta.”
The all too real influence behind the track spiders and culminates through the lyrics (‘I feel like I’m the only one trying to hold on…”) until the singles abrupt ending leaves nothing but that web of emotional resonance and nostalgia behind.
Despite the darker, melancholy nature of the single, there is no denying the impressive craftsmanship and the structure holding it up. Once you have broken down every scrape, and electric growl, you’re left with a beautiful piece of art, especially when paired with the band’s black mirror style concept video.
What is brilliant about ‘Automatic love’ is that although there is a brilliant quality of sound, there is so much attention to detail and meaning, taking the focus off trying to make a track pretty and perfect and instead just letting it grow and shape as a piece of art.
Babe Club are set to release ‘Automatic Love’ on the 25th September 2020 so make sure you check it out!
