Malmö-based five-piece, Mauv, follow their first EP, Changes, from 2019 with a new single and video that combines their knack for nineties alternative rock exuberance, their shoegaze-bent loudness and their pop sensibility in an overall very much vibrant and pleasing outcome.
Goodbye Friend shines through its beautiful clarity, and for a while it sounds as direct and plain as its own title, until it erupts into a spacey, psychedelic high point founded on reverberating guitars and a lot of electrifying fuzz.
The heavily saturated, vintage nineties-like visuals in the superb video which comes with the song were directed and edited by the band's own Wael Mahrous.
Mauv are Wael Mahrous, Oskar Albertsson, Samuel Krantz, Hanna Åhren and Albin Brandt. Just like their previous releases, the new single is out through Vårø Records.
