Neturals Share New Single from New Town Dream
One of the many great records on the May schedule for Slumberland Records is the forthcoming Neutrals LP. Their new single opens with a bit of an off-kilter shuffle before the sharp ringing of the guitars chime through your speakers; this sets the tempo for the track and Allan’s vocal work. Mr. McNaughton’s voice is something that’s so distinctive, it’s difficult to imagine anyone else fronting this group. But, one thing I do love here is that there’s this faint feeling like the vocals could be more explosive; it’s like he’s harnessed the internal anxiety and holds it close, though you could expect him to unleash it (or not) in the live setting. I love that, as it encompasses the sort of passionate unity that’s made the group so tight and infectious through their last several releases. New Town Dream is out on May 31st! Also available in the UK via Static Shock.
