New Zealand duo Balu Brigada released “So Cold” on September 26th. Balu Brigada consists of brothers, Henry and Pierre Beasley, who are now based in New York. “‘So Cold’ is about tripping up on all the subtleties of the dating game,” say Balu Brigada. “It’s the realization that there’s a lot of smoke and mirrors when it comes to attraction, and that a lot of things that feel like ‘mystique’ when you’ve got beer goggles on, are actually just someone being elusive.” Henry and Pierre have spent much of the past few years creating a unique future-facing sound of their own, prioritizing dual vocals, prominent bass hooks, and punchy drums while showcasing a left-of-center pop sensibility and natural ability to skate genres. Following their 2022 debut EP, I Should Be Home, Balu Brigada signed to Atlantic and released their second EP, Find A Way in 2023. Balu Brigada has been touring with twenty one pilots.
