SARPA SALPA - Circuits (Single Review)



Northampton's finest up and coming band Sarpa Salpa released their third single Circuits on Friday and celebrated with a packed show at The Lab in their hometown that evening.

Following up their previous effort, the brilliant She Never Lies with something as instantly seductive was never going to be easy but the indie pop four piece have managed it with Circuits. Produced by Bedford based producer Ben 'Faz' Farsetvedt, it's a track that bristles with confidence from the offset. Musically it's reminiscent of the likes of Blossoms and Viola Beach, and feels like the perfect record to blast out in your back garden with a beer on one of these balmy summer evenings we've been enjoying of late. The lyrics though are wonderfully introspective. "I'm ashamed/I've got no-one else to blame/But myself again" sings frontman Marcus Marooth and you suddenly realise this is something a little bit deeper than the throwaway pop song you may have initially suspected.

With the next single already recorded and their live set full to the brim with instantly enjoyable belters, it's difficult to see Sarpa Salpa's momentum slowing down any time soon.

Circuits is available now for download on all streaming sites and will be the track of the week on our show tomorrow night. We also caught up with the band at their show at The Lab and the interview will be on the show tomorrow as well so tune in to Diverse FM at 9pm via the website or on 102.8FM in and around Luton to hear from the boys.
