The song fits a warm evening walk, a last-minute drive, or a desk.
Pete Christianson
Little melodic flickers keep flashing in the mix, giving the track.
The synths glow rather than shout, and the vocal hooks ride the mix.
Vocals sit in a bright, polished pocket.
Bass swells under clean hi-hats and giving the whole thing a fizzy.
My favorite Indie Rock songs from the past year.
Paid-only
Glossy synths sit on a tight four-on-the-floor pulse.
Marcus Marr and Nick Murphy turn The Trouble With Us into a sly.
Frightened Rabbit hits a nerve fast with “Woke Up Hurting”.
Hot Hot Heat sounds freshly urgent on Kid Who Stays in the Picture.
The vocal sits right up front and bright and slightly ragged.
Guitars flicker at the edges and the vocal sits cool and close.
Bronze Radio Return turns Nowhere to Be into a grabby little anthem.
