Impressed with what we've heard so far from Saccades (the solo project of The KVB's Nicholas Wood), 'Heat' is the second single to be taken from his incoming Flowing Fades album, due out April 9th via Fuzz Club. Welcoming the weekend with a thudding kick sound that pulls your body with it, housey synths bounce as ticking electronic hi-hats pan left and right on 'Heat'. Conjuring imagery of a Mediterranean island in the sun, funky guitar lines bend soulfully through the track, which radiates heady portions of poolside nostalgia. Wood explains: “Influenced by a mixture of early house music and yacht rock, I wrote ‘Heat’ during the sweltering nights of last summer in the stuffy flat that I was living and working in at the time. It’s a song about missing playing live shows and touring, the buzz of the crowd and the connections that are made at gigs and on the road. For the last few years I have been constantly on tour or travelling away for shows and it’s definitely something I took for granted, now that it’s not possible.” -Holly Mullineaux
