LIST PICK
STEALING SHEEP SHOW LOVE
Following where their bouncy synth-bop 'Joking Me' left off, Liverpudlian trio Stealing Sheep have shared the second single from their new album Big Wows. Grooving around a buoyant bass line, 'Show Love' showcases the band's knack for vocal melodies and intricate three-part harmonies - it's even got a key change at the end. Arriving with another highly-conceptualised video directed by Korean animator Gyuri Cloe Lee, they explained, “We’ve been collaborating with lots of women on this new album and we want a strong female energy in the music and visuals, so finding a female director for this was really important. We also wanted someone who worked with this celluloid hand drawn style that combined with more digital aesthetics, colour gradients and stop motion, it’s a perfect match for the song ‘Show Love’. A kind of sugar-coated apocalypse matches our zingy steel pans and crazy arpeggios. Also, check us out riding a pink fluffy sheep into space”. -Holly Mullineaux
