From the very first seconds of Fool for You, I thought, “Oh wow, this is amazing! An indie-pop banger!” Yeah, because if I try to remember the last time I heard such a banger in indie-pop, I think I’d have to go back about two or three years. That tells you how rare high-quality productions in this genre have become. Unfortunately, indie-pop doesn’t attract as many musicians as it used to, and some might think it is fading away.

Well, think again. This UK-based quartet describes itself as a “non-binary fronted indie-pop girl band.” Yeah, it might take up a bit of space on an envelope if you wanted to send them a letter, so they shortened it to Supersaurus. But honestly, who even sends letters anymore?

Fool for You tells the story of a budding relationship, with all its twists, turns, and slightly confusing emotions. Of course, it comes wrapped in a string of flashing heart-shaped lights, making it even more adorable. Love stories are never as simple as they seem and this song captures that feeling perfectly, all while embracing a full-on 90s and 2000s vibe that the band deliberately went for.

What’s funny is that they told us this banger originally had four different instrumentals. They kept reworking it over and over again to get to this stunning final version. You can feel a level of professionalism and maturity in every line.

Because yes, it’s stunning. The melody is catchy as hell from the very first second and the vocal performance is just as impressive. It feels like listening to a band that has been doing this for 30 years. Except 30 years ago, they weren’t even born. It’s a clever mix of 80s synth glitz with plenty of “queer undertones of love,” as they put it. And that mix works like a charm.

When I hear tracks like this, it makes me want to live in a perfect little pastel world like in the Nosedive episode of Black Mirror. Just kidding. That would be unbearable. If you’ve seen the episode on Netflix, you know why.

But with spring returning soon to the northern hemisphere, this song is the perfect road trip companion. Blast it in the car, roll down the window, and let your elbow stick out, right? Please support this band! They deserve it and we wish them a long and bright career filled with bangers like this one.

SUPERSAURUS’s take on “Fool For You”

The track originally had about four different instrumentals and it started with the melody, chords, and lyrics, and built from there. It was one of those songs that needed quite a bit of reworking and coming back to before it ended up being what it is today.
