Leeds-based math rock collective Love Rarely have just dropped their hard-hitting new single Mould, marking their first release since signing with independent label Big Scary Monsters.

Following the buzz around their debut EP Lonely People, the five-piece retreated into the studio for the summer of 2024, drawing heavy inspiration from genre-benders like The Fall Of Troy, La Dispute, and Loathe. The result is a ferocious blend of intricate riffage and raw, gravelly vocals on Mould, paired with the explosive B-side Whiplash.

Known for their infectious energy, Love Rarely masterfully blend complex melodies and dizzying time signatures, creating a unique sound that fuses elements of math rock, emo, and screamo. This latest offering solidifies them as torchbearers for the next wave of genre-defying bands emerging in 2024 and beyond.

“Mould/Whiplash as a project excited us because of the contrast between the two songs. The idea of being able to show Love Rarely‘s versatility wrapped up in one continuous visual, felt right instantly. Both songs carry a similar meaning, exploring mental health issues that are exacerbated by the creative process & then in Whiplash that is coupled with external pressures to still perform/create regardless of what may be occurring in everyday life.” says guitarist Dan Dewsnap.
