The end of the summer can be a crushingly difficult time when you’re young. Instead of clinging on to those sweet memories, the more likely scenario is that a separation will ensue because, well, real life gets in the way. Reminsicing is simply not enough, but in the case of synth pop duo Howls, they want to rekindle those meaningful, though fleeting, moments on their latest single "Krusht". Laced with frosty synths and a cold, throbbing drum beat, the duo shed light on what happened to these two former lovers in the form of a story in miniature. The details are scarce but precise, enough to conclude that it ultimately leads to a sad ending.
"Krusht" is featured on Howl’s forthcoming EP Come On, which is due out on October 23rd via Buddyhead Records. – Juan Rodríguez
