Argonaut Put Their Vulnerability On Show With New Track From 'The Black Hat'

Argonaut are a London indie band with a love for DIY fuzzy pop and wonky analogue synths. The latest single ‘The Vulnerables’ is the second official release from their open-ended album ‘Songs From The Black Hat’ – a rehearsal ritual that’s led them to creating an impressive stream of demos since the start of the year.

Nathan explains “At band practices we each write song titles on slips of paper & put them in the hat. One is then picked at random. We jam around that title & see what alchemy occurs. Most times the magic flows & the combined band chemistry creates something we are really pleased with.”

With two previous albums on Criminal Records, Argonaut’s newest release is produced by Jack Ashley of Popes Of Chillitown, and mastered by The Kut who was drummer/producer on Argonaut’s self-titled debut.
 

A glam tinged indie-pop celebration of the sensitive souls who refuse to stay silent, the single is inspired by the likes of Bowie, T-Rex, Suede and Manic Street Preachers. It features recent release ‘Move Fast’ as track two, channelling Gen X Silicon Valley sloganeering, 1980s pop-synths & nineties noise, following the adventures of wannabe Microserfs in an office pod near you!
 

Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music “It’s sparse – but I like that!’

NME ‘Argonaut put forward a good case for being brilliant…sounds like Siouxsie And The Banshees…their commitment to youth, ideas and passion should be lauded and rewarded’
