Little Cub embrace the void on ‘My Nature’

Every weekday, DIY’s new music know-it-all Neu brings you one essential new release to get obsessed with. Today’s Neu Pick comes from Little Cub.

South London group Little Cub pen pop songs with a black core. New single ‘My Nature’ is no exception.

Looking inward and pulling out all the darkest gunk of their hearts and heads, it dives headfirst into a shadowy realm only touched upon in ace last track ‘Loveless’. Lines like “my life, just public masturbation” are delivered with a cold resolve, as all manner of swarming electronics drag the group into the gloom.

“’My Nature’ was written as a hook for a piece of Dance music but played by a band with words that reflected the way I see myself in the centre of all this mess,” explains excellently-surnamed frontman Dominic Gore. “Where as ‘Loveless’ is written for a somewhat wistful and perhaps naive perspective, ‘My Nature’ is much more hardened and less ashamed. It’s about no longer looking for absolution, and it can come across as a bit unsympathetic.”

Listen to ‘My Nature’ below as today’s Neu Pick - the three-piece play the following shows to cap off the year.
