“Sharp Reminders” is a peppy, bright track released today from S A Reyners. The New Zealand-based artist previously impressed with the track “16 Lovers,” and shows a more energetic sound here. Aesthetically, I’m reminded of The Housemartins’ knack for soaring vocals and quick-swiping guitar melodies. Reyners notes that uptempo XTC is a point of comparison, and that the track’s guitar sound is influenced partly from bands like Nazz and The Who. “Sharp Reminders” shows a brand of power-pop and rock that’s enjoyably familiar, while strutting creative melodic flair.
Love this sound! Reminiscent of Buzzcocks, Shoes, Nervus Rex! Memorable Hook and great twists in the arrangement which sound deceptively simple and are actually a work of art!
BRAVO!
