Following their gritty summer debut 'Petalhead', South Londoners Krush Puppies are back with another slice of intoxicating lo-fi pop. Taking inspiration from the tasty tomato sauce, 'Passata' pairs washy guitar strums with front woman Jenny's airy vocals and matter-of-fact lyrics, which drift serenely above the mix. Adding more than a dash of distortion to the chorus as the bass boils over, 'Passata' is a recipe that you'll want to follow. You can catch Krush Puppies live alongside fellow TMR faves Squid and Emerson Snowe at The Macbeth in Hoxton next Tuesday (27th) as part of The Great Escape Festival's buzzy FIRST FIFTY events. -Holly Mullineaux
