Taste Test: Spooky Wilson cracks open a delicious starburst on new song, ‘Need U’
The indie-pop mover lets his music speak for itself.

Ambition can get the best of you. When it comes to music, particularly of the experimental variety, less is often more. But in the case of indie-pop mover Spooky Wilson‘s “Need U,” the textures compliment each other in such a way that’s downright mesmerizing. He zip lines from bouncy electronica to cinematic power-pop and back again, and along the way, organic instruments smash into synthetic and blossoms into an outstanding display. At every turn, he ejects a left-hook right to the jawline, barreling you over, and you will not soon recover. That’s guaranteed.
“Need U” is lifted from his new EP, Keep Feeding Each Other, out everywhere now.
