The hazy, twinkling “Directions” is a winner from Art Grad, who describes the single as a “fast paced but dark and moody song about isolation akin to King Krule.” The comparison is especially apt in the closing moments, as wordless haunting vocals intermingle with brassy blaring amidst the perky keys.
Prior, the hook-minded production excels with its assortment of subdued guitar twangs and confident vocal pushes — “back and forth with my attention again.” “Directions” is firmly replay-inducing with its debonair yet hooky pop production.
