A funk-tinged psych-rock chilliness enthralls on “ants in the sugar,” a fantastic new track from quinn bee. Ghostly, wordless vocals and twangy guitar mystique traverse into a gripping vocal lead, using the “ants in the sugar” comparison to convey a sense of devouring. “You never tell me what you need, you only tell me how you feel,” the vocals let out during a grippingly melodic ascent, depicting the complexities of relationships in regard to commitment — and the knack for both blissful highs and devastating lows.
This project is fronted by Quinn Brodsky, a Texas-born folk and alternative artist who is also the frontwoman of Tailwind, a funk-rock band based in Boston, and also forms one half of the eclectic duo SIBLINGS.
