Reviews and Comments
After two years of scrubbing dishes and sweeping floors, London’s premier DIY Baroque-Pop troupe, Tugboat Captain, return with blink-and-you-miss-it two-minute single, Flash of Light. A venture into more psychedelic realms than debut studio album Rut (2020), Flash of Light features extra-terrestrial bleeps and bloops, glistening harmonies and the first ever four-part bassoon drop in the indie-rock genre. Whilst lyrically focusing in on a moment of existential dread as one awakens, the track is a return to the total DIY attitude of earlier Tugboat Captain records with the band writing, mixing, and producing all 125 second of music. Having spent the past two years quietly burrowed away in studios across South London you can hear a new level of studio experimentation recalling the wilfully weird of early Flaming Lips, the sonic exploration of Grizzly Bear and the intimate clatter of Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
