‘You Save Me’ is the commanding new single from young Brisbane five-piece Fresco Kyoto. On this new track, they illustrate how their songwriting has evolved over time, going from strength to strength as they refine their sound and aural personality with comparisons to Rufus Du Sol and Hayden James. It’s the ultimate anti-love song.

Their love of lo-fi house and ethereal dark melodies shines brightly in the chorus and overall this new track highlights frontman Robbie Balmer’s vocals - balancing complexity with delicacy and vulnerability with strength.
‘You Save Me’ was produced by the band’s own Toby Alexander and Cody McWaters between Hunting Ground Studios and Airlock Studios (owned by Powderfinger’s Ian Haug), where Cody has assumed the role of head engineer. Outside of his work with Fresco Kyoto, Cody has worked closely on releases for The Chats, King Stingray, Selfish Sons, and Osaka Punch, while Toby contributed string arrangements for Holy Holy’s ARIA nominated record, Hello My Beautiful World.
