Are You Listening to Gorgeous Bully?

It wasn’t long ago that I was raving about the latest from Gorgeous Bully, and here I am again begging you to go back and listen to the Manchester act. This new tune went up yesterday, and it’s got a different feel than some of the latest work, though the lineage is still evident. Vocally, there’s still that drawn out touch to it, but the rest of the track almost has a psychedelic Brit-pop feel, which wouldn’t offend me in the least. Not sure exactly where this fits in the release schedule since the artwork being used is from the last album, Dumb Ideals (if you don’t have it, what are you waiting for?), but when I know, I promise to fill you in.

Download This Gorgeous Bully Tune

May 27, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

A few years ago I caught wind of Gorgeous Bully, a little Manchester act specializing in hook-laden pop tunes. I had completely forgotten about them until the wonders of iTunes random shuffle put them back on my radar. I hustled to their page and found that the band has recently released a new tune as part of the If There’s Hell Below Compilation; it came out right after they released their new LP, Dumb Ideals. It’s precisely the sort of tune that begs you to play it again, using simple percussion and a big vocal grab to pull you into the song’s magical powers. It’s a pretty chilled out approach, but those of you in the vein of delicious pop music will want to jump on this download immediately.
