“The Love Buzz releases vibrant, genre-blending song ‘Freeloaded (Cool Kitten)'”
Cork-based music group The Love Buzz has unveiled a new single called “Freeloaded (Cool Kitten)” from their upcoming album Earworms. This single beautifully blends elements of 90s alt-rock, 70s power-pop, and 00s garage-rock to create a unique and genre-bending track. The song kicks off with a soothing mid-tempo rhythm and infectious guitar melodies. The raw vocals complement the crunchy, yet fuzzy, synths, resulting in an enchanting and anthemic sound that seamlessly blends nostalgia with a modern touch.
The band shares insights into the creation of the track, stating that it originated from a random riff played by Kieran. Within just 30 minutes, the song came together, retaining its initial lyrics, frills, and low vocals. The recording process involved using a broken Fuzz War pedal and a micro Korg with only black keys. The lyrics reflect themes of living on unemployment benefits and weekends that seem to stretch on endlessly.
“Freeloaded (Cool Kitten)” is both explosive and lush, featuring an urgent yet mesmerizing vibe. It captures the essence of The Love Buzz’s dynamic live performances, characterized by high energy and uplifting indie-pop melodies with a fuzzy edge. The tongue-in-cheek, hopeful, and vibrant nature of the track speaks volumes about the band’s ability to resonate with audiences and grow their fanbase with each new release.
The Love Buzz is known for their lively presence on stage and their ability to translate that energy into their recordings. Their innovative approach to music-making, evident in “Freeloaded (Cool Kitten),” showcases their willingness to experiment with different sounds and styles while staying true to their unique musical identity.
