American Indie Pop songwriter club hearts releases infectious new single 'SaveThesePills!'

club hearts is the brainchild of professional button-pusher and self-appointed ringleader, Barrett Bleeden. His third release 'SaveThesePills!' was an undeniably catchy summer-ready single laced in shimmering synths and a dance-inducing drum groove and it instantly caught our attention.



The early stages are especially synth-heavy, using a smooth organ texture to bring a slick feel to the Indie Pop sound. The energy rolls forward, offering a bouncy rhythm that makes you want to move yet it is the melody of the chorus that really lifts this track off. The chorus is then delivered with a relatively understated style at first, never forcing the melody upon you. However, it grows with each chorus, worming its way into your brain and becomes an infectiously memorable sound that won't leave you.



Now, he has returned with a slightly darker, hypnotic single 'blood was on my skin'. The crunchy percussion and dense electronics instantly kick off the track with a moody tension. This moody groove, matched by the vocal flow rings of the verses to Billie Eilish's 'Bad Guy'. In a wonderful tonal shift however, the chorus then rises up into a bright, emotive dreamscape with a slick Pop melody that is super catchy. This switch from deep, grimey swagger in the verse to a floating dream-like Pop sound plays with your emotions wonderfully and showcases the talents of Barrett perfectly.
