Ahead of their first ever UK shows this summer, Brookyln-based Sex Week are back with their new single, ‘Coach’. Tiptoeing between pop dreaminess and something much darker and stranger, the track arrives ahead of their upcoming EP ‘Upper Mezzanine’.
The song feels wide-reaching and disparate, with each sound dissipating outwards, whether you’re focusing on the murky depths of a bass or the bright fragility of lead singer Pearl Amanda Dickson’s vocals. Each listen begets something new, a new sound drifting up out of the fog. There’s a nervous, elegiac space between the song’s sounds and textures, a whole world to hide away inside.
Sex Week seem to have matched their sound to the longer, lighter days, with this new track feeling like a brighter iteration of their previous shadowy singles. ‘Coach’ lifts off the ground, and with shows planned at Green Man and Manchester Psych Festival this summer, it feels like the band know exactly what they’re doing. Open your window and take a big gulp of fresh air.
