The Fours Share New Single

Leave a comment

The Fours popped up on my radar earlier this year as they prepared the release of Misadventure. But, having just dropped that LP a few months ago, they’re already back with a brilliant bit of rock n’ roll for you to consume. This tune seems like it’s a study on early Jonathan Richman; it’s a no-frills rock approach, just driving heavy rhythms through your speakers, with a sort of updated feel to it. Something in the vocals still holds onto that pop sentiment, never straying too far from the song’s center. If you like your jams steady, catchy and cool, then you’re going to want to keep an eye out for the group’s new LP Shaking and Moving, coming soon via World of Birds Records.

The Fours weren’t quite on my radar until I heard this new track from their forthcoming LP, and man, now I’m over here with great anticipation, awaiting the release date. I love the way the guitars here are extra-crisp, galloping through your speakers on the back of rolling drum work. It sets you up for this brand of rock n’ roll that’s fueled by musicianship and a nod to the past, though the vocals have this sturdiness that works a bit of juxtaposition into the tune. I love the way the backing vocals are so faint that they almost feel like a little feathered bit just lightly blanketing the song’s core. Shaking and Moving is shaping up to be something sublime, so we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
