Hot on the heels of their Dross E.P., released in February ... Tuff Love have a brand new, exclusive single, 'Groucho' - a süper loved-up blast of woozy harmony-driven scuzz-pop, which premiered over on The Line Of Best Fit earlier this week.
According to TLOBF, 'Groucho' is "a windstorm of fuzzed-out, sun-bleached exuberance. The hook-laden track conveys a sense of urgency and laid-back cool at the same time, highlighting the duo’s flair for multi-faceted guitar pop that is melodic, spacious, and charmingly scruffy." Ooooh. And we agree, of course!
The song is being released in select independent shops for Record Store Day, as part of a split 7" with Lazy Day, which you can listen to below. Tuff Love are also out on tour, starting TOMORROW (Thursday April 2nd) IN LONDON, so be sure to go and see 'em - dates and ticket links at the bottom of the page ...
