Andrew Cushin

Polar bear presents Andrew Cushin.

A killer indie rock guitar riff powers ‘You Don’t Belong’ from the outset, and immediately establishes that Andrew has enriched the scale of his previously acoustic–orientated production. Now sounding like a dynamic live band rather than a confessional singer–songwriter, the rest of the song bounds with a similar intensity.

There’s also a subtle shift in his lyricism too. Whereas previous singles have felt immensely personal, ‘You Don’t Belong’ speaks of the wider struggles of a sea of young men who desperately battle issues with identity, belonging and mental health. The song was recorded at The Albion Rooms, The Libertines’ studio in Margate, and produced by Jason Stafford.
