“The Hugs are showing off their spacey side with the new single off their forthcoming record, titled “Magnify.” Layers of psychedelic tones, driving rhythms and a bright lead guitar blend together to showcase the next step in the evolution of these local garage-pop favorites. Listen to the song (available for download on July 16th) below and get ready for the new album, ‘Love Led You Here’, out July 30th.”

“The Hugs have a new single: “Magnify” is from their forthcoming album Love Led You Here. It’s a tumbling, jumping track with echoes of shoegaze and perhaps even some U2 in the guitar echo, and it displays the Portland band at their most euphoric. Love Led You Here is 12 new songs from the band, now a trio, and comes out July 30.”
