Hailing from Manchester, alt-rock, indie-pop quartet Fuzzy Sun have made quite a name for themselves in their last three years of making music. After a tough year, and some time out to figure out the sound they want to put out, Fuzzy Sun have returned with Fake It, their first single of 2021.

The track is the epitome of the direction Fuzzy Sun are wanting to go in; it being so different to previous releases makes Fake It feel like the band’s debut, all over again. Daring, yet so worth it. Laden with layered harmonies and serotonin-inducing melodies, the single takes on the sound of the likes of Indoor Pets and Blur. Loud, colourful, and energetic, Fake It provides a little bit of light at the end of a very dark tunnel.

On the track, vocalist Kyle Ross explains:

The song itself is about feeling rather disenchanted with society and putting on a brave face when in fact you feel the complete opposite, which is something we can all relate to. It was inspired by a dark time, with the hope of things getting better.
