Skegss return with new single ‘State of Hawaii’, the second single from their upcoming EP, Top Heavy which is out 27th June 2025 via Loma Vista Recordings. Marking a fresh sonic departure, the track blends breezy bossa nova rhythms with lush background vocals and vibrant trumpet lines.
“State of Hawaii” follows recent track ‘So Excited’ and is a laid-back tribute to the islands, capturing both the literal paradise and the dream of escape from everyday stress. Alongside the release comes a video directed and produced by Kale Neville, shot while on tour.
Lead singer Benny Reed says on the track, “We had a bit of fun with this song in the studio where we tried a few different versions and then thought it would be fun to go a little Latin or Cuban, a bit of a mix of things. We got some congas in there and trumpet for the first time, as well as some Spanish vocals.”
