New York City power-poppers Charly Bliss make music that is sticky-sweet and ultra-bouncy, awash in the insanely bright colors of childhood. Frontwoman Eva Hendricks’ squeal carries with it images of riding bikes and reading comic books in the grass. So, it’s no surprise that the band turned to comic tropes when making the video for their new single “Percolator.”
In a black-and-white clip that’s more than a little incongruent with their technicolor sound, the band rallies Avengers-style to fight some unknown threat. The single comes off their upcoming debut album Guppy, due out on April 21 on Barsuk Records. Check it out up top and pre-order Guppy here.
The group are hitting the road this spring in support of their debut. If you dig “Percolator” — or their previous single “Ruby” — don’t miss out on a chance to see bring their ferocious bubblegum guitar-crunch to life.
