Pioneers of indie-pop Huw and the Greater Good have released their most recent song, “Dopamine,” with significant help from well-known national radio in the UK.
Produced at Greenmount Studios by Jamie Lockhart, “Dopamine” demonstrates the band’s ability to craft memorable melodies within tightly guitar-driven compositions. Drawing from the band’s 70s rock and soul roots, the track has a fresh indie-pop vibe while fusing elements of pop, psychedelic, and indie-rock.
The song doesn’t waste any time getting started, launching listeners into an engrossing chorus driven by drums with a disco vibe, fuzzy guitars, and a subdued but steady bassline. “Dopamine” flows well between verses and choruses, building to an intriguing instrumental section and a climactic chorus that will stick in your head.
“Dopamine captures the overwhelming sensory rush in today’s world, delving into addictive and obsessive tendencies in a vibrant yet unsettling setting,” the band said in a discussion of the song.
Huw and the Greater Good, a band that was formed in 2020, are inspired by artists such as Cage the Elephant and Arcade Fire. Their live performances are emotive and liberating, with BBC’s Janice Long praising Huw Eddy’s soulful vocals. The band promises more ground-breaking music with the release of “Dopamine,” carrying on their musical and self-discovery journey.
