Irish trio Unstuck compel with a charismatic rock sound on “Anne-Marie,” their newest single. A steady rise from quaint guitar strums into a bouncy bass envelopment occurs quickly, with a chirpy tonal quality driving into the invigorating title-referencing hook. A delicious melodic shift occurs thereafter, with twangy guitars and plucky bass eruption with captivating results, before a hazy conclusion.

The track stands out with its melodic charm and energetic composure, touting a dynamic song structure and convincing energy throughout. There’s a sense of ’90s alt-rock nostalgia apparent in the more enjoyably raucous moments, with a touch of modern shine, especially in the jangly entrancement within the second half shift. Drawing praise in the Dublin live circuit and with tracks like “Anne-Marie,” the trio have an EP planned for 2023, alongside many new live shows.
