Jawdropped – “Cup”
Here at Stereogum, we've been very into pretty much everything we've heard from Jawdropped, the ragged young power-pop band from Los Angeles. They'll release their full-length debut Secret To Spare next month, and the singles " Monday " and " Split Lip " are both keepers. The same is true of "Cup," the new song that they've got out today. The post Jawdropped – “Cup” appeared first on Stereogum .
Jawdropped, a power-pop band hailing from Los Angeles, has been making waves with their debut album, Secret To Spare, set to drop on September 18th via Transgressive/Canvasback. The band's new single, "Cup," is receiving rave reviews for its infectious energy and poignant lyrics. "Cup" is a singalong that captures the highs and lows of chasing dreams in a big city.
The song's catchy hooks are balanced perfectly with a bittersweet melody that reflects the character's disillusionment. The band's creator explains that "Cup" was inspired by an older track called "Star," which tells the story of someone who moves to Los Angeles with dreams in their eyes, only to face the harsh reality of burnout.
The band describes it as a realization that they are the last ones left at the party. Check out the music video directed by Jack Dione below.
