Swedish three-piece Spunsugar is releasing DIY-chic music video for new track "San Jose", the third single off their upcoming new album "A Hole Forever", with forthcoming sophomore album due to release on 17th November 2023.
”This song is an homage (and sort of a response) to the Dione Warwick song "Do you know the way to San José" (1968). This is a song about dreams, mainly, broken ones. About pumping gas for the people who achieved theirs. Fittingly, this song has a beachy indie vibe paired with a grungey sound. It lulls you in with a crisp coolness, and then hits you with a distorted riff that chugs away under breathy shoegaze vocals”.
If you study the release closer you'll notice that there's a bonus track that features one of Swedens most heavy weight songwriters, Andreas Mattsson, in this context most known for being the founder, singer and songwriter in legendary swindie pop band Popsicle.
Spunsugar dropped their critically acclaimed debut album "Drive-Through Chapel" in 2020 and an EP "Things That I Confuse" in 2021, leading to an abundance of media support from Steve Lamacq at BBC Radio 6 Music, The Independent, The Line of Best Fit, Nothing but Hope and Passion, and more. They recently released two singles titled ‘Skin Unwell’ on 14th June 2023, and "It Never Gave Me Anything" on 18th August 2023 that has set the tone for the band’s impending electrifying releases.
Spunsugar’s new LP "A Hole Forever" will further discuss dense topics and expose the realities of coming to terms with internal shame. The album tackles themes about getting older and confessing dark secrets with the mindset that life is a slow death.

On ”RAFT” soft R&B is contrasted with elements of jungle and garage. Inspiration has been taken from 90s Disney movies, Peter Gabriel and nature reserves in Central America. The lyrics speak of adaptation and survival, of rising and striving towards the light.
“Raft is an episode from the story RECOUPIA that is about gathering strength and moving forward. To me, building a raft is a symbol of acting based on hope for the future and being prepared to take chances and invest," says MANX.
In 2022, MANX released three transcendent singles, all released digitally and on CD slim case with mixtape-like bonus material. On August 25th came the fourth single titled ”ONSEN" announcing the debut album ”RECOUPIA" which lands on October 27th.
The single ”ONSEN" an anthem to the carefree who doesn't underestimate their "self care" and a tribute to laziness, according to MANX's own words, got a well-deserved first place on K103 Gothenburg's radio rotation and was selected for both Nöjesguiden's Favorites and Danish Bands of Tomorrow's Nordic Hits.
