Kent’s studio20 debut with striking new single ‘Penny Drop’.
Arising from Kent, four-piece indie band studio20 announce their debut single ‘Penny Drop’, an occasion marked off of the back of the group’s notable yet debut series of live performances.
Described as an ‘intense search for resolution’, ‘Penny Drop’ tries to reach into lyricist and member Isaac’s internal frame of mind, gripping with the challenge of ‘[not being in] the best headspace’. The verses an introspective look on the past year, with the contrasting vocal and synth arrangement showing this in an earnest sense. The chorus itself uses the vocals as more of an instrument than a way to distribute lyrics, with high octane, screeching guitars embodying “the sentiment more than the lyrics itself”. It’s a first for the band, but one that shows promise, depth lyrically and stylistically, whilst also showing a direction for where the band will go.
studio20’s debut single ‘Penny Drop’ is out now via Communion, with the group touring in Rotterdam and London, before hitting the road with Robber Robber for an EU and UK tour.
