The latest track from Crawling Vines, “Best Part” is a tender, soulful rock success with nocturnal retrospection. Soulful guitar pulses and twangy punctuation surround a laid-back vocal presence, concocting a fusing of rock and late-night R&B with tempting immersion. These verses excel into a chorus with interacting vocal layers and an expressive guitar-laden lengthening, meshing a hazy psych-pop allure alongside the rock/R&B touchstones.
The project continues to impress; Crawling Vines previously caught our ears with the tracks “Vinyl on the Floor” and “Falling off the Monkey Bars.” “Best Part” continues a knack for balancing memorably melodic songwriting and moody atmospheric strengths.
