North London-based band Depression, Baby compel on their new single “Out of Luck,” balancing grungy guitar jangles and dreamier hook-filled retrospection.
Bemoaning initial lyrics and understated guitars propel swiftly into a peppier bass accompaniment and steady percussive pulse. The swooning vocals and chirpier guitars past the 30-second mark plays with captivating qualities, quickly showcasing the band’s dynamic tonal sensibilities. A playful guitar line leads a clever bridge back into the verses. The thunderous escalation of rhythms, guitars, and vocals kickstarts the conclusion, falling gracefully into a dreamier retrospection in the final moments.
Representing a track from the band’s upcoming EP, the excellent “Out of Luck” was crafted in a converted warehouse studio with producer Benjamin Beheshty.
