Hidden Shoal Recordings has announced the release of the single ‘Humbuzzer’ by Portland-based avant-pop quartet Iretsu. The track is another masterful example of Iretsu’s signature experimental pop sound, tightened to its maximum potential around an elastic post-punk tune. Driven by a wonderfully insistent rhythm section and given lift-off by Ryan Cross’s keening vocal, this brief yet muscular beast will stick in your head for the foreseeable future – at least long enough to keep you sated until the forthcoming album Fang drops in May. The impish kings of addictive and inventive songwriting are back.

“Iretsu’s music is complex and hard to define… The group’s melodies are refined, the songs are bursting at the seams with ideas, the craftsmanship is impressive and most importantly, their combined offerings are outstanding” – Delusions of Adequacy on the Name Our Numbers, Numbers EP

“the band’s sound is dreamy and hard to resist… Once it makes its way into your playlist, your brain, your life, this is the type of album that’s hard to set aside” – Popmatters on The Moon And Stars Remain In The Morning Sky

‘Humbuzzer’ is now available from the Hidden Shoal Store. The single will be available for free download until the release of the album Fang on 27th May 2010.
