The 1981 Share Notebox Single off Move On LP

Leave a comment

Spoken word samples and a ringing guitar line pull you into your speakers when you press play on the newest single from the 1981. Soon enough, the drums kick on here and build this stomping brood that recalls some of the early Jesus and MC power hooks. But, then a cymbal crashes and the track turns more melodic momentarily, bridging the gothic structure with a bit of understated cool. I love the way the vocals really churn here, reminding me of all the loud guitar acts from the late 80s/90s that never turned away from bringing in melodic vocal hooks that kept you coming back again and again. The band will be releasing Move On via Dandy Boy Records on August 18th.

We’ve covered lots of stuff from Dandy Boy Records the past few years, and the 1981 are definitely an act I think we’re going to get behind. Honestly, I loved the way the song started out, using this brooding darkness with light guitar jangles to turn in my ear; it set up the song perfectly for the vocals to have their first entry, almost like a ghostly whisper through your speaker. But, after the 1 minute mark, the song takes a turn into this more blissful pop structure; it’s like a sedated power pop moment, completely sealing this song as an absolute hit. Give me a hook, wash it in synths, then throw in an emphatic power piece at the end to add some emphasis? Yeah, I’m in. Move On is out August 18th.
