new jangly, shoegaze-y powerpop from Curling (RIYL: Big Star, Television, Beatles, MBV)
the last time I got to do one of these posts was 2018 (!), so i'm super excited to share this new tune.
our last music video was pretty guitarist-friendly since it had 51 guitars in it. this one's a bit less guitar-focused, but there's some cool appearances from my CS '67 Tele and a Rickenbacker 360/12C63. there's a Jag that makes a brief appearance in the video. it's the guitar playing the big, fuzzy lead riff during the intro and outro of the tune!
the tune itself is kind of a 2-minute powerpop symphony. tons of musical information and hooks, a huge feedback-laden shoegaze-y guitar lead, and lots of really weird chords.
enjoy!

Reminds me a lot of "I am the cancer" era Sloan @ 1992 or so. Good shoegaze riff layered up on some Teenage Fanclub loving chords. I've spent a lot of time in this same range myself. Good work
I used to be cool, now I just complain about prices.

Great stuff. I love it! It holds many different emotions in a tight capsule and is still expansive at the same time.
"I'm nostalgic for conversations I had yesterday. I've begun reminiscing events before they even occur. I'm reminiscing this right now. I can't go to the bar because I've already looked back on it in my memory, and I didn't have a good time."

hey all, giving this a bump since our second single just dropped today. there's a really fun video for this one, too! album's available for pre-order (and we have vinyl + shirts!), so you can get the first two singles right now and the rest of the album when it releases on August 11!
