Key Out Drop New Single, Announce Afterville

Sydney’s Key Out just announced that they’ve got a new LP lined up, and with their new single officially in the world, I wanted to be here to encourage you to give them a little listen. There’s something really special about the way the guitars and the drums meet up at the beginning of this song to set it all off; it immediately reminded me of late 90s college jams, and for some reason, Rainer Maria. But, the thumping drums get offset with the kindness of the vocal tones, softening the vibe a bit, before erupting into a fuzzy chorus filled with dueling harmonies. It falls somewhere between the modern pop rock styles and the charming indie rock of Nada Surf and Death Cab (at their peak!). Afterville will be out later this year via False Peak Records.
