Toothpaste’s London Fields, the lead single from their debut EP Soft Touch, is a lush, introspective slice of shoegaze that channels yearning, disconnection, and late-night London melancholy. Layered guitars shimmer over heartbeat rhythms, while hazy vocals evoke fleeting moments of clarity in emotional static. Self-produced in their King’s Cross studio and refined with help from Ruby Smith (Sabrina Carpenter) and Simon Scott (Slowdive), the track captures the bittersweet beauty of uncertainty and change. It’s both intimate and expansive—an ode to the DIY spirit and a sign of a band confidently stepping into their sound.
Think DIIV meets early-era Cure.
