Gurry Wurry is the solo project of Scottish avant-pop oddball Dave King. He’s picked up support from BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing, 3RRR and Apple Music, alongside acclaim from The Skinny, Clunk and Snack Mag. He’s recorded with Rod Jones (Idlewild, Hamish Hawk) and Andy Monaghan (Frightened Rabbit), showcased at Wide Days, and opened for The High Llamas, Florry, Dick Valentine and platinum-certified bedroom-pop cult hero Dent May. Championed by the BBC’s Roddy Hart and Vic Galloway, his first two albums both landed in Vic’s Albums of the Year list (while the song Hairline made Steve Wide’s Triple R Tracks of the Year): in March 2023, his homemade debut Not As Bad As It Sounds came out and the follow-up Happy For Now, recorded with indie legend Rod Jones (Idlewild, Hamish Hawk) was out in 2024. Gurry Wurry plays this year’s Kelburn Garden Party and Belladrum festivals. A new single, Champions Bore me, was out in March and Have You, a second single from the forthcoming third album, Glue, will be out on Friday, April 24th, but we’re streaming it now in exclusive premiere on TRISTE© ahead of its official release.

What He Says: “I guess Have You is about trying to read your partner’s mind in the middle of a rough patch. It’s full of uncertainty – a foot-tapper with a janky sort of rhythm that’s never quite comfortable. I wanted it to feel like it had a sense of purpose and stride, but I was totally unsure about where those steps were actually going.
Have You is taken from the upcoming third album Glue – produced by Andy Monaghan of Frightened Rabbit. The album will be released on limited edition vinyl, cd, cassette, and download on 29th May. With monthly streaming singles leading to a full album streaming album release on 30th October.”  

Have You slips in sideways, wrapped in a soft, homespun haze that feels lovingly out of step with the present. There’s a distinctly neo-psychedelic undercurrent, but it never blooms into anything grand; instead, it lingers in subtlety, echoing the skewed pastoral charm of Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci and the and the off-kilter vocals of Super Furry Animals. Melodies float, slightly askew, guided by instinct and the arrangement embraces a kind of deliberate fragility with toy-like textures, fleeting details, and that unmistakable sensibility that turns understatement into a quiet statement of intent. It’s outsider pop in its purest form: intimate, elusive, and gently resistant to definition. Nothing resolves in a conventional sense; the song seems content to hover, to exist in its own small, self-contained world, leaving behind a delicate memory of a sensation we may never have even experienced.

Have You will be out April 24th. The album Glue will be out October 30th, 2026. Look HERE for more information on Gurry Wurry.
