Otoliths Drop Maeve’s Melody

Tom Smith wrote the song’s on the latest album in between parenting naps, and the first single we’re hearing is an absolute pleasure, leaning Otoliths more into the power-pop sound that permeates the Bay Area sound. Ringing guitars in the tune are cyclical, riding up and down like like a ferris wheel, then pulled back to let Smith blast a nice little melody from the vocals. Even when thing get restrained, you can still feel that certain swagger that makes you feel good to have rock n’ roll at your fingertips. Crunchy and fun, so be sure to keep an eye out for the new LP, Lithos, out on March 20th.
