Hot Music Hype-Week of October 2

SPUNSUGAR DO IT THEMSELVES IN NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR UPCOMING SINGLE ‘SAN JOSE’ DROPPING SEPTEMBER 29TH 2023- Swedish three-piece Spunsugar is releasing DIY-chic music video for new track ‘San Jose’, the third single from their upcoming new album ‘A Hole Forever,’ via Adrian Recordings on September 29th, 2023, with forthcoming sophomore album due to release on November 17th, 2023.

The ‘San Jose’ music video is almost a parody of the image from Sweeney Todd of Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter sitting at the beach. The Californian goth party feel of ‘San Jose’ to images of Spunsugar’s three resident goths enjoying a day at the beach feels so wrong but even more right. The grainy camera quality adds to the gothic feel, really showing the band are new-wave to the core. Whereas the thunderous bassline in the verses of ‘San Jose’ cement its new-wave feel, the surf punk chorus and gritty distortion set this firmly in its own category of Spunsugar, not just any new-wave ensemble.
