Laura Rosierse discovers a warm and ambitions new track with eclectic influences from indie pop rockers
Coming out with their first new material since the release of May’s succinct debut album Everything We’ve Done So Far, Newcastle indie pop band The Hemp Queens present a swaying new rock track in the shape of Cum Laude, a song about toxic romance.
The song embraces an eclectic and uplifting rock sound that suits them incredibly well; the indie pop outfit have created a warm and colourful sound inspired by 70s singer-songwriter records and gospel, which manages to be both comforting and fulfilling. This ambitious blend of influences brings a unique mix to their sound, and infuses their usual sonics with a vast array of instrumentation.
