New striking strokes

20 January 2024

Artists: PRETTY AVERAGE
Who: Musical act born from the lifelong musical collaboration of Candy Bassas (vocals and guitar) and Sergi Cabanes (lead guitar). After relocating to Berlin from Barcelona, the duo formed a four-piece band in late 2021, which takes inspiration for its noisy-yet-ethereal sound from artists such as Galaxie 500, Spiritualized, New Order, the Cure, and Lou Reed.

New single: ENTWINED
Track from their upcoming debut EP, titled
All I Wanted, out on 2 February.

TUTV: A tenacious tandem of bass and drum take care of this striking song’s backbone beat all the way through. From the kick-off Entwined has the impact of a sonic magnet.

Its ongoing groove creeps under your skin without asking. Scorching, shoegazy guitars
add some more electricity and quirky vocals (made me immediately think of the singer
of former Irish indie band JJ72) create a spooky atmosphere. Give it a couple of spins
and you’re hooked.

About the DIY video: “It was a cold morning that conveys a very passive but yet cinematic picture. A repetitive element pictured in the video is fired candles, a symbol of divinity. We
love the confusing lens we used in this video combined with the slow tempo, hypnotic.”
