WHOOP-SZO – SINGLE REVIEW

WHOOP-Szo – Amaruq 
WHOOP-Szo - Amaruq

Release Date: Out Now

Ontario collective WHOOP-Szo are back which is a very good thing indeed and, coincidentally, their new single ‘Amaruq’ is also a very good thing so it’s a win-win situation for all of us. With a flurry of thunderous drums we get underway before dreamy guitars join in and shoegazey vocals get going on the verse. With elements of 80s New Romanticism, 90s horizon scanning and a timeless sense of ambitious optimism, WHOOP-Szo stand, legs a shoulder width apart, atop a mountain surveying all that nature has to offer and It. Is. Beautiful.
