HYYTS - 'The Low Sound'
Electro-pop duo HYYTS release new euphoric single ‘The Low Sound’ claiming their spot as ones-to -watch for 2020.
Soft, delicate verses leading into a captivating chorus filled with a myriad of electronic influences and intoxicating vocals build the perfect backdrop for the feeling hope running deep through the veins of ‘The Low Sound’ – “I don’t wanna go back home, this is my home now, that’s the low sound humming in the background saying I don’t wanna stop myself, I don’t wanna slow down […] I am right where I need to be.” HYYTS are equally at home in underground club atmospheres as they are in bedroom pop, creating a sound that soars high while keeping a trace of intimacy.
Talking about the new single, singer Adam says: “The idea of contrast has always been so important to us. Our personalities completely contrast - Sam is the illusive and quiet one, headphones in and getting inspiration from all angles and genres, putting weird sounds and erratic production over my completely different approach of bubblegum pop and cheesy lyrics. We seem to balance each other out, and it seems to work! The video and track follows that kind of idea of contrast too - it counterbalances happiness with sadness, darkness and light, lyrically happy but sonically a bit manic. I feel like the Tom Waits quote “I love beautiful melodies telling terrible things” sums up The Low Sound, and us as HYYTS to be honest, in the best way. We have things to say, and points to make, whether it’s socially, politically, or not deep at all, but we also want to have a load of fun and let pop music make people happy for three minutes again.”
