Melbourne band Beans have just released their latest single; a groovy psychedelic track titled ‘Calling’. ‘Calling’ marks the third song the five-piece band have released from their upcoming album Boots N Cats (following ‘Groove’ and ‘Haunted’), which is set to be released on March 1st, via Fuzz Club Records. Taking a slower, more strutting pace than the former two singles, ‘Calling’ is characterised by an almost seductive groove, all while maintaining the fuzzy kaleidoscopic glow that audiences have come to know and love from Beans.
Heavy with drawling vocals and beautifully defined percussion at the forefront of the tune, the result is a tantalising songscape sure to leave listeners enchanted by its sound. Thematically, though, this new single speaks not to the cool and breezy feelings that one might assume from its sonic qualities, but rather to the grim feelings of hypersensitivity and disconnectedness which emerged during the pandemic, according to frontman Matt Blach:
“Calling is about that period of Covid time where everyone, including myself, felt like they were going insane. When people were being really sensitive and reactive, calling people out over pure boredom – obviously sometimes worthy, sometimes far-fetched.” Matt Blach, Beans
