Following on from recent release ’HIJKL, Little Comets return with a little gem in King Prawn, outright now across all digital platforms. A gorgeous slice of psych-infused indie pop, the track effortlessly weaves its way through an immediate, earworm-worthy verse before bursting into a singalong chorus. Then, just when you think you’ve got it figured out, a sparky, searching guitar solo enters the mix, adding another layer of depth. The chorus is further lifted by lush backing harmonies, giving the whole thing a brilliantly euphoric feel.
Thematically, King Prawn is as playful as it is pointed—imagine if a prawn were in charge? The band’s wry lyricism blends with their playful sound, adding a sixties shimmer to a track that feels both whimsical and strangely relevant in today’s world. It’s an addictive, uplifting listen and a perfect gateway into the ever-evolving sonic universe of Little Comets.
Catch them on their entirely independent UK Spring Tour, kicking off later this month. Tickets are available now via www.littlecomets.com.
