Released today, “Song 004” is a rockin’ new track from Brooklyn-via-Austin trio CRV. Off the band’s new Compact Recreational Vehicle album, which also released today (and is streaming below), “Song 004” recalls no-frills early ’90s alternative and garage-rock, with acts like Slint and Pavement coming to mind. The lyrics themselves speak to nostalgia in their recollections — “I built a motorbike and drove down your street,” — with the alternation between quainter hypnotic guitars and more garage-set distortion playing well alongside the emotive vocals. It’s a striking track off an impressive release, which manages to show a convincing and confident aesthetic in just over 15 minutes.
