this new single is an amazing debut offering from them, an explosive track right from the get-go, with a lovely grungey atmosphere present – so many different influences present and interacting in a real unique fashion. it drops away for the verse, a gorgeous space opening up for lead singer Zara’s vocal to soar over the backdrop, with introspective and intricate lyricism within each line. it’s a fantastic listen, and the dynamic throughout the track is second to none; the walls of sound and groove really ensuring that the track is worth putting on repeat. 🤘
