Simple Creatures have released a new single.
Strange Love is the second track from Blink 182's Mark Hoppus and All Time Low's Alex Gaskarth's new project, following on from their debut Drug in January. It also shares its name with their upcoming EP, which will arrive on March 29 via BMG.
A more electronic-pop offering than both of the musicians’ previous pop-punk forays, Strange Love features a radio friendly chord sequence, a sing-a-long chorus and channels a trendy EDM vibe with a repeated synth hook. Hoppus said:
Strange Love is the first glimpse into the Simple Creatures universe. Cooked up in studios and basements around Los Angeles, we set out to push ourselves in musical directions that are new and exciting to us. Embracing new recording techniques and processes, we broke songs down to their barest bones and rebuilt them into musical Frankenstein monsters.
From uptempo tracks like Drug, to the ratty snarl of Lucy, we’ve broken out of our own musical molds and built a world of trashy guitars, distorted synths, crushing programmed drums, and a whole lot of fun and noise.
