Huskies - Huskies EP

Nottingham quartet Huskies have always had a penchant for infectious indie-pop that oozes summertime goodness and their debut EP is no different.

Every track on this EP is filled to the brim with hooks, to the point where each song will be stuck in your head for days. Opener Down sets the tone with it's combination of jangly, melodic guitars and frontman Antonio Panzera's smooth vocals which intertwine to create a gorgeous tune reminiscent of Birmingham slackers Jaws. The mellow vibes continue into Surrender which fizzles along before erupting into a glorious breakdown its impossible not to groove to. Then a re-recorded version of early single Shh drifts in; beefed up to something epic yet still as catchy, it remains their best track to date. Finally, closer Castaway floats along on a gentle breeze of echoed out guitars and leaves on shimmering synths which provides a perfect, hazy end to proceedings.

Despite not possessing much depth lyrically, Huskies certainly make up for in their melodies on a brilliant debut EP. It's packed full of sweet summer anthems that manages to bring a glimmer of sunshine to even the gloomiest of winter nights.
