Hugh preview new EP with ‘One of These Days’

For the past year, London four-piece Hugh have shuffled into view, giving a jolt of life to percussion-led pop that meshes genres like it’s trying to hit a high score. Checking in at smooth R&B, skittering garage and heavy bass, they’re constantly trying to escape their own shadow, aiming higher in the process.

New track ‘One of These Days’ previews an EP of the same name. Izzy Brooks and Joshua Idehen couple up for the chorus of “one of these days / we are gonna happen”, and in this instant a group dancing with potential become a seriously exciting prospect. Switching focus between synthetic horn jumps and stop-start rhythms, it manages to land on the cleanest, most streamlined hook Hugh have boasted to date. Talk about an upping of the game.

DIY’s got the first play of ‘One of These Days’ below. Catch up with similarly exciting previous cuts ‘I Can’t Figure You Out’ and ‘Look Back in Laughter’.
