Bradford natives FLING has shared their latest unique offering 'Extra Special'. Known for their wildly eccentric live shows, the burgeoning quintet have already built up quite the following, with their playful personalities seeing them well-received on the festival circuit so far this summer.
A more reserved vibe than their previous efforts, 'Extra Special' is a lethargically paced and infectiously dreamy slice of summer psychedelic indie-pop. The dense percussive rhythm section combined with plucked, syncopated guitar parts give the song a groove that cuts through the rather dense instrumentation.

Charles McSorley's lead vocal is relaxed and relatively dry in the verses but it's in the choruses where he really comes to life. The backing vocals and high pitched lead melodies come together to create a brilliantly rousing sound reminiscent of Childhood's new album. This track screams of summer and the chorus embodies that perfectly.
There are real moments of magic on this track, the lead guitar parts from Jack Winn after the first chorus are lovely and slick and the underlying synths add an air of reserved experimentations. For all the highs though, unfortunately, the track seems a little too short. Just as you feel you've fully invested, the tune is cut short. Another minute and this track would have been perfect.
FLING has delivered a fantastic (if criminally short) tune of irresistible melodies and funky guitar lines. 'Extra Special' should be the soundtrack to your summer and the perfect tune for lazy days in the park. We can't wait to hear their debut album 'Fling or Die' slated for release early next year.
'Extra Special' is available to stream now via Dance to the Radio or listen below.
