Energy Pop at all times bites down tougher when it’s hybridised with Pop Punk, so brace your self for the hooks in Ghost in Blue to scar. Every twist in Sucker for a Fairly Face’s sonic vignette finds that mysterious candy spot that lands someplace between your rhythmic pulses and your soul.
The solo virtuoso proves what it feels like when a professional assaults alt-rock, utilizing nostalgic angst and tender, wistful longing as a lifeblood; the result’s a single with sufficient chunk to depart a mark lengthy after the final be aware decays.
The challenge, the work of composer, musician, and singer Eric Vincent Thomas, stands on the vanguard of the brashy, bouncy nu-pop punk revival. Below the Sucker for a Fairly Face banner, Thomas alchemises tracks solo and with a revolving door of collaborators, channelling every little thing from old-school alt-pop-punk to melodically charged, lyrically pushed trendy rock.
If you happen to had been obsessive about Bowling for Soup the final time skinny denims and panda eyes had been cool, this will likely be your new sonic crush. For anybody whose playlists are a protected haven for anthems of nostalgia and candy defiance, Ghost in Blue (on the 405) will really feel like house.
Ghost in Blue (on the 405) is now obtainable on all main streaming platforms together with Bandcamp.
