It Never Gave Me Anything

by Spunsugar

supported by

Negative White Malmö-based band Spunsugar celebrates the traditional shoegaze sound in their new single It Never Gave Me Anything. The thickly layered darkness is omnipresent, drowning everything in its deep pool of sinister beats and raw glide guitars. Although Spunsugar is an alternative rock trio, It Never Gave Me Anything proudly displays its post-punk insignia. Favorite track: It Never Gave Me Anything (Single Edit).

Voice is guttural seems to know it all speaks when I'm asleep digs their thumb deep gambles away gifts, wives and pay squanders all away It shares my birthday and it blows out all my candles though it never gave me anything Some serial killers and Kurt were also born as pisces suns you try to tell me something Spreading rumors Lives in tumors Laughs at every tear Paints my every fear On the mirror Getting clearer Getting clearer It shares my birthday and it blows out all my candles though it never gave me anything Hands firm on my shoulders smiles just as the flash goes off it knows what this year will bring It shares my birthday and it blows out all my candles though it never gave me anything Hands firm on my shoulders smiles just as the flash goes off it knows what this year will bring Some serial killers and Kurt were also born as pisces suns you try to tell me something

about

The inclusion of classic shoegaze elements, such as raucous glide guitar, grimy bass, and pounding drum beats, nostalgically transport the listener back to the 90s. However, the band provides a modern touch to the genre with their unique fusion of electronic, post-punk, and pop components. Over the hazy instrumental lies a darker storyline that is meant to mystify the listener. The album will include both the single edit and original version of the track.

The band said, “‘It Never Gave Me Anything’ describes a relationship between a person and an unwanted side of themselves. This side is so unlike how they want to be that they treat them as a separate entity, maybe even a person. It has always been there, ruining moments, talking to them and making sure that they never forget that it is present. A seemingly never ending list of things this ‘it’ is responsible for is recited over a pulsating beat and bass riff that is both ominous and groovy at the same time. This paired with a wall of distorted guitars that show up in the bridges and choruses, creates a song that makes you question what mood the song leaves you with. As is typical of the band, the song plays with what emotion, as well as which genre, it evokes.”

about

Spunsugar Malmö, Sweden

Spunsugar is an alternative rock band with shoegaze influences. Sound wise, imagine if Alternative Nation on MTV 1997 and a drum machine fall into a cotton candy machine. The cotton candy wheel breaks and derails. They grew up farmer offsprings, bible belt kids of fundamentalists and trailer trash in small towns of Sweden. These are their references and this shapes their sound. ... more
