our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Never Looked At Me That Way” from Dreaming of Citra! 🎶
we’ve covered these guys’ previous singles and we love their indie-rock/dream-pop esque style, with luscious melodies throughout their music and infectious hooks, and they’ve been gigging across Manchester a bunch, with a headline show next at YES in June! 👊
this new single sounds fantastic, with a lovely atmospheric sound right from the get-go, with driving rhythm forming the foundation of the track, allowing for the guitar riff to soar expertly above it, and the main vocal takes command, ensuring the listener is hanging on every word, and it’s a real personal yet adeptly written track, with raw emotion in every lyric but also maintaining a singalong chorus. we especially love the middle eight build into the final chorus, a real slow build that works exceptionally – it’s a fantastic listen! 🌙
you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/70mECkV2BNmk1WpkYQVLs5 – well worth checking out along with the rest of their tunes 🎧
