Fresh Herzog Track for Enjoyment
Just a week or so ago I was calling Herzog the American version of Sloan, and this new single today is doing nothing to deter my stance. They teasingly seem like they’re going to kick into some sort of angular spin, toying with sharp notes before the full band jumps into to carry me into pop heaven. While the power-pop sensibility is there, I think the emphatic punch in the track around the 1:15 (and 2) mark is a solid touch, just to ensure you don’t turn your speakers up too loud. Everything about this song, and this album, thus far, seems like I’m getting the coolest present I never expected, and I’m grateful for every precious melody coming my way. I hope you are too, and there will be more when Me vs You drops via Exit Stencil Recordings on February 22nd.
