Venice, California-based electro-pop project Humdrum Book Club has released a new single, "Boyfriend," showcasing a blend of throbbing synths and engaging guitar flourishes. The track features the yearning vocals of songwriter Andrew Ross, who admits an inability to express complicated romantic feelings while leading listeners through a catchy, memorable chorus.
Described as both synthy and cheesy, "Boyfriend" leans heavily on melody, presenting itself as a melodic charmer. The production, crafted by Ross along with producer John Helfrich, evokes playful comparisons to Blur's iconic track "Girls & Boys." The rhythm and melodies throughout highlight a dynamic sound that encourages repetition, particularly within the chorus, designed to resonate with listeners.
The release of "Boyfriend" contributes to a growing catalog that reflects the duo's dedication to infectious synth-pop. This track is part of a slate of emerging releases featured on Obscure Sound’s Spotify playlist, titled 'Emerging Singles.'
