FUSS
With psychedelic dream pop band FUSS set to release debut EP Getintothis’ Sarah Pitman has the details of a track exclusive and live dates
Liverpool psych five-piece FUSS are set to release their debut self-titled EP on September 1 on new label Modern Sky UK.
The EP will contain four new tracks, including lead single Coma, which you can stream exclusively below. Coma comes with a music video directed by Dominic Foster, set in the old wing of the mansion where the band currently reside.
Having only been together for about a year after a chance meeting of five strangers, FUSS have captivated audiences with their psychedelic pop, combining sweeping guitar melodies and a chilled out, dream pop vibe.
The band create tracks to transport listeners to another plane of existence, taking away for the mundaneness of everyday life.
Getintothis tracked down the band to ask them a few questions about themselves and their music.
