Burgeoning South London quintet Tiña return with barnyard dance single "Dip"

Formed around the Brixton Windmill scene, Tiña took a decidedly Americana slant to their blend of wiry indie rock. Lead singer and guitarist Joshua Loftin imbues the track's fuzzed-out chord structure with a juxtaposing falsetto, making an immediate impression akin to entering a dixie bar with little more than his signature pink cowboy hat on.

His intoxicating vocal soon dives into a woozy chorus, with a back-and-forth encouraging us that it’s “time to dance” but also warning that “it’s time to die”.

On working again with Speedy Wunderground after releasing “I Feel Fine” as part of the label's 7” single series last year, Loftin says, “Even in my state of anxiety and paranoia working with Dan [Carey, label boss and producer] is so fun and beautiful. His daughter’s dog is called Feta, and she makes you feel good to hold. I believe Dan has meditated all his life and he just pops into the studio to record before returning to his world peace.”

Speedy Wunderground having an artistic faith in their artists has paid off, as "Dip" is both highly accessible and intrinsically unique, poised to make alt-country fans remove their cowboy hats and bow.
