Folly Group have dropped their debut single proper, 'Four Wheel Drive'
They'll be hitting the road in support of Do Nothing later this year.
London upstarts Folly Group have debuted a brand new track, 'Four Wheel Drive'.
Their debut single proper, it's the first ever release on new label So Young Records.
Folly Group’s Sean Harper explains: “‘Four Wheel Drive’s mechanical chug aims to invoke the feeling of alchemy that occurs when we make music together. It’s a kind of sonic metaphor for our each being part of an engine—together, we each provide a different service in pursuit of the same goal. That goal is whatever kind of good it makes you feel.”
So there you go.
The track comes with a video, by Oscar Carrier-Sippy, which you can check out below.
Folly Group have also shared details of a socially distanced headline tour - including a date at Moth Club on 25 June - and have been announced to play Dot To Dot Festival as well as supporting Nottingham’s Do Nothing later in the year.
