Perth’s psychedelic-pop trio Methyl Ethyl have just released the second cut from their upcoming second album, Everything Is Forgotten. The new single titled “Ubu” is a funk-driven journey opening with a fat bass line accompanied by frontman Jake Webb’s fluid vocals, before transforming into an intensely hypnotic, groovy hook about haircuts.
It’s playful and tinged with a retro, 80’s pop shine- a different approach for the typically shadowy psych-rock band.
The new album is written and recorded by Webb and produced by James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Foals), and is shaping up to be the band’s most compelling release yet. You can check out the the first single from the album, “No. 28” HERE and pre-order Everything Is Forgotten HERE.
