Massage Share No North Star
Every so often you come across a tune that seems to encompass the world’s status, and nothing seems as indebted to today as the new single from Massage; the press release calls this a “bittersweet anthem for anyone who’s ever felt adrift,” and I can surely second that feeling, as its difficult to grasp reality at present. But, the brightness of the tune certainly cements the group’s infectiousness, pulling in some textured vocal work throughout that adds this brilliant layer of depth to the rush of ringing guitars. In the end, despite the sense of wandering and restlessness, the tune seems to share an aura of hope, a promise for a brighter moment on the horizon. Here’s to hoping for that, and hoping you grab Coaster from Bobo Integral//MtStMtn on October 10th.
