COLLEAGUES arrive with “Tears” sounding strangely urgent, the kind of song that cuts through the workday and makes the room feel sharper. New enough to feel fresh, sturdy enough to stick, it plays like a secret everyone suddenly wants to share.
The track keeps its hands on the wheel: clean guitars, a taut rhythm section, and a vocal line that stays cool while the edges fray. Everything feels compact and deliberate, with just enough grit in the low end to keep the polish from getting smug.
For late-afternoon headphones, bus rides, and the last stretch before quitting time, “Tears” fits like it already knows the mood. COLLEAGUES make yearning sound practical, and that is a useful trick when the light starts dropping earlier than you want.
