Lame Drivers Share Spring Single

This new Lame Drivers single has been floating around just a few days now, so I wanted to make sure it had time to reach its gestation period before doubling down with an extra bump. There’s almost a progressive psych vibe in the way they lock into that motorik groove, letting the guitar work shimmer all around from behind; I loved the guttural nature of the bass line in this tune rippling as the tune’s undercurrent, pulling you under. They’ve gotten some Big Star nods this go round, but there’s something in the vocals that feels really familiar, and honestly my brain can’t exactly find it, though I’m leaning British in its delivery. Anyways, cool jam for you to run up the flagpole. They drop Become an Island on June 28th.

Lame Drivers Return with Become An Island

Nearly a decade after their last, New York’s Lame Drivers are back with a classic brand of pop rock that’s undeniably built for modern days. Bits and pieces of their new single pull from an amalgam of crisp guitar licks from the era where folks like Alex Chilton struck gold. That said, there’s a nice bit of edgy undercurrent running beneath, which becomes more apparent as the track goes on, so you’ve got a bit of a modern blend between classic and pop, putting them into a realm that momentarily feels all their own. Good to hear them back at it, and I look forward to Become an Island when it drops in June via Jigsaw/Bleeding Gold.
