#888 Carroll - Needs

Listen here!

Indie rock belligerently, aggressively against trying to engage, with a detached, nasal approach straight out of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and countless other early 00's bands. Things pick up now and again when the beats shuffle and the synths run Genesis circa Duke, but even then, every note just feels like its trying to drag itself out of bed, every beat running a half beat late, and those vocals that just cut to the bone. There are catchy moments, but I feel like I'm trying to cheer up an occaisionally-fun, usually-depressed friend, and its weirdly exhausting. It's even called "Needs" for christsake! What about my needs? 2.5/5
