Glaswegian duo HYYTS create an anthem with euphoric new single "The Low Sound"

Sometimes the most perfect of moments are happening miles away from you and you’re merely a spectator. Sometimes those perfect moments wouldn’t even be so perfect if you were the protagonist in that story. Sometimes standing on the sidelines – or in this case, chilling in a flat a couple of miles away from an outdoor Foo Fighters concert – can help you realise that what you’ve already got is pretty damn perfect.

“The lyrics to this song are about a night that I was at my girlfriend’s wee flat in Ibrox,” Adam explains, “we could hear the Foo Fighters playing from Bellahouston Park and we don’t even like the Foo Fighters, that much, but it was really nice. I had one of those moments where everything feels good.” The track came together in the studio with Josh Grant, who Adam describes as “a lovely genius man” and of course HYYTS’ very own Sam.

Last year HYYTS released their debut EP, headed up lead single “Bullet”, which saw the pair share their pop experimentations through its five tracks. Having spent years working together and living together, with time their synchronicity and ability to play off each other’s strengths is only increasing. “The idea of contrast has always been so important to us,” Adam explains, he describes his other half as “the elusive and quiet one, headphones in and getting inspiration from all angles and genres” which greatly contrast his own approach of “bubblegum pop and cheesy lyrics.”

They balance each other, but more so than ever on “The Low Sound”. It’s a bold song which sees these two going head to head with Sam’s more leftfield production raising Adam’s joyful, thrill-inducing vocals and lyrics into new territories. The manic nose dives, twists and turns this track takes further add to its charms and when soundtracking its music video, that new level of darkness further exemplifies the song’s blissful core.



“We have things to say, and points to make, whether it’s socially, politically, or not deep at all,” Adam adds “but we also want to have a load of fun and let pop music make people happy for three minutes again.”

For its three and a half minute runtime “The Low Sound” will not only make you feel happy but question how you’ve felt anything other than happiness. Euphoric and oh so cathartic, if dancing on our own is all we can do right now, then get ready to dance to this.
