Tune into Vocabularies

I’m a definite sucker for a spiky guitar line, so when I pressed play on this new tune from the latest Vocabularies, I instantly knew I was going to be playing it on repeat. Those notes seem to be sort of climbing up the wall, like a spider operating with some sort of deliberate madness; it puts up a certain tension in the track, letting songwriter Ryan Young crawl all over those jagged notes. Young’s vocal delivery is calmed and deliberate, striking the listener in a fashion that almost feels like a post-punk infomercial commenting on how “they win/we lose.” If sharp guitar notes are your thing, then you’ll want to search the rest of For the Hundredth Time.
