Swedish trio Spunsugar has unveiled a DIY-chic music video for their latest track, San Jose, the third single from their forthcoming album, A Hole Forever, via Adrian Recordings. The juxtaposition of the Californian goth party vibes of San Jose with scenes of Spunsugar’s three resident goths having a day at the beach may seem incongruous, but it’s an artistic statement that feels uniquely right. This isn’t your typical new wave ensemble; it’s Spunsugar embracing their creative essence with a music video that perfectly complements their vision.
The band said, “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”.
