Indie Pick: HUR – Dark Love

This time for Indie Pick I’m featuring a really dope song by HUR. 

On the day of release I was just minding my own business, scrolling through the wastelands of YouTube when I got this video ‘Dark Love’ by HUR pop up. 

As soon as the first couple of seconds passed I knew I was going to love it. And I did, holy cannoli!

The bass line that drives the entire song grips you by your guts and doesn’t let go until it’s finished. Whew, it’s a ride. 

I wish I had some sort of theory about the music video, but I don’t. He’s walking around at night wearing a bunny mask, with a shirt both covered in blood. If anyone has a theory, let me know, because I’m lost. 

At about 2.33 in the video, the song itself stops and you get this bizarre howling/crying. It legit gives me goosebumps every time I listen to that part. I don’t know why, but I like to torture myself apparently. 

HUR is under Poclanos and only released his first single in November 2019. Though he has his own Soundcloud, go check that out here.

Let’s talk about the lyrics!

Hitting and striking is the old school way of fighting
We graduated from that level a long time ago
We fight quietly, as if there’s no trouble on the surface
Our level is different, isn’t it?

Go give him some love on Instagram. Or go check out his Spotify.
