Single// Sulk, Wishes.

‘Wishes’ is the euphoric, highly anticipated debut single from baggy revivalists: Sulk.
The track opens with an arpeggiated, shoegazey guitar riff that carries on throughout, screaming the word “Britpop” and sounding as though it belongs on either Blur’s Leisure or The Stone Roses’ Second Coming - purveying underneath Jonathan Sutcliffe’s wispy, insouciant vocals and a plodding drum beat; manifesting itself to sound all-in-all like an early 1990’s feel good summer anthem.
‘Wishes’ perfectly fits in with the recent brooding Britpop revival, such as the reunions of Pulp and Suede alongside the mainstream appeal and success of bands such as Brother and Beady Eye. Plus who knows, if sulk keep on writing and producing records to this standard there may even be a full on acid-house resurrection on the cards?

Jonathan Hatchman.
