Teether and Kuya Neil – Blush

Symptomatic of Teether and Neil’s experimental output, “Blush” is a soft side step for the duo – “it’s a love song!” – suspended by imagination and a steady garage beat. Featuring the duo’s most besotted hook, the candour of a crush juxtaposes the 2D banality of the everyday. Like the simpler times of eagerly awaiting that ‘Online’ status notification, heart-eye filters on “Blush” are a welcome distraction.

Written in the process of a sharp writing trip, Teether reveals, “It’s about revelling in true love while living in a less-than-ideal reality. The sun was out and we didn’t have to go to our day jobs for a bit so we were feeling it. But you know at the start of a trip when you are aware it’s going to pass you by quickly? That looming return to reality was still present, hence the nods to some depressing truths still being there in this almost idyllic love song.”
