The Steve McQueens releases fifth recording project ‘The Observer’

“…the six-minute odyssey finds the four-piece in familiar territory: Vocalist Eugenia Yip cruises over silky-smooth keys, intuitive basslines and abrupt time signature shifts, which all lead to an infectious coda.” – NME -

The Observer is The Steve McQueens’ 5th studio outing, and shows a mature unit performing at the peak of their 8-year journey together. The characteristic playful inventiveness, musical twists and surprises are all here in spades, and listeners will find it hard not to have that little smile cross their faces at regular intervals.

Released through Singapore-based indie label Umami Records, the mercurial band’s latest album features music performed from their 2020 ‘Nerd Lounge’ tour of Singapore, Japan and Indonesia. 

With the pandemic putting the brakes on to their ‘live’ performance plans, the quartet went into the studio to record this collection of new music which simultaneously evokes alternative R&B, chill-pop, 60’s Motown and nu-soul.
