Indie rock risers KAWALA have shared their new single ‘Hypnotized’.
The band’s debut album is incoming, and it finds the much-tipped project making good on their early promise.
The hype is building, but KAWALA remain defiantly outside of the prevailing trends. As they put it:
“We’ve always been a little outsider-y. We don’t fit the pop narrative; we don’t quite fit the usual band narrative. We’re really happy to be taking up that space, but I think this is our flag in the sand moment. The album really says: This is us, here we are!”
New single ‘Hypnotized’ is online now, opening with a twisting, turning acoustic riff before evolving into a rock blaster.
A taut, addictive piece of songwriting that lives up to its title, ‘Hypnotized’ – say KAWALA’s Jim Higson – is about “finding yourself in that situation you promised yourself you wouldn’t be in again…”
He adds: “And realising it’s not what you actually want for the 100th time. It’s about traversing the world as if you haven’t got a choice.”
Tune in now.
