Another memorable track from D.C.-based artist Hays Dowdy, “Only on the Inside” fuses buzzing guitars and dual-vocal immersion into a stirring title-touting hook. Abby Sevcik‘s gorgeous harmonies return, marking another successful collaboration with Hays; “Voodoo Doll” caught our ears last summer. “Only on the Inside” succeeds with a power-pop and rock intertwining. Perky, vibrant keys and fuzzy guitars cohesively complement the magnetic vocal presences, alluring especially during the “only on the inside,” repetition.
