Saltwater Sun offer up raucous sunset soundtrack "Making Eyes"
London fivesome Saltwater Sun have shared new tune "Making Eyes", and it's our rocktacular Song Of The Day.
It's the band's second single, following "Habit On My Mind" from earlier this year.
"Making Eyes" is riff-heavy and charming - it follows a similar path to Wolf Alice's fuzzy rock noises - but rather than bursts of angst and anger, Saltwater Sun make sounds poised to soundtrack sunset revelry. It's prickly and propulsive, and has all the ingredients for 'festival singalong' - it might be a bit later for this year, but with quality this high, it'll probably still be ringing in our ears come next summer.
Saltwater Sun are playing Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen on 21 September.
Their debut EP Wild is out later this year.
