Girls Dreams

Sometimes the best music is the kind that sounds like it was thrown together in about ten minutes, which is why Manchester-via-Sheffield's Fruit Bomb are as addictive as their name - which sounds like it could also be a brand of sweets containing too many E numbers - suggests.

Headed up by Nai Harvest's Ben Thompson, Fruit Bomb have a knack for coaxing thrills out of the simplistic, finding magic in the mundane. They introduced themselves to the world last year with a debut track called "Normcore Girlfriend", so that should tell you pretty much everything you need to know. Their ramshackle brand of garage pop sounds like it was shaped by The Kinks, The Strokes, and FIDLAR, offering fleeting kicks and cheap fun, which is obviously the best kind of fun (and currently the only kind of fun if you're under 35). Fruit Bomb are a night out on Carling, a night in with frozen pizza and Take Me Out, a disposable BBQ on a pebble beach in November. 

We're premiering the video for "Happy" (shot and edited by Matt Girling) below, which features a lot of tracksuits and balloons. Once again, creating fun from the most basic of resources. You have eyes, probably, so we won't spoil it for you. Give it a watch:

"Happy" was recorded in Sheffield's Delicious Clam Records by Ed Crisp (Best Friends), and will be released via Too Pure Singles Club soon. Also, if you like fun, you can catch Fruit Bomb live in the flesh on the following dates:

 

February 26, Picture House Social, Sheffield

February 27, Fallow Cafe, Manchester
