Today, GUV (formerly Young Guv) dropped the music video for “Blue Jade,” the fourth and final single from the upcoming album Warmer Than Gold, out this Friday via Run For Cover Records.
The track blends indie, shoegaze, new wave, and synth-rock into a hazy yet melodic rush, offering a clear preview of what to expect from the full album.
About the track by Ben:
For this song, we were thinking about these last few years of the shoegaze wave alongside classic records by MBV and Chapterhouse, but with the aim of pushing it somewhere punk and more driving.
The idea was to make it like a Blitz or Oi! record but bury it under a wall of guitars and texture.
Most of the vocal melodies came together while the guitars were being tracked, quietly singing them into my phone.
I took the instrumentals from the sessions at Max Epstein’s studio in LA back to London and recorded the vocals quickly in my uncle’s apartment, keeping it low so I wouldn’t disturb the neighbors.
