Jangly guitars and heartfelt vocals escalate delightfully across “Now It’s Over,” a memorable track from DEVIN MØRE that captures feelings “of wonder and hopelessness,” following a break-up. Produced by the California band Paloma, “Now It’s Over” enamors in its melodic yet emotive sound — resembling an aesthetical cross between The Strokes and Last Dinosaurs.
The production excels in its capturing of post-relationship heartbreak, and the sense of loss that comes alongside. “Lost myself tonight, lost myself again,” vocals lament amidst a bouncy bass pulse and lingering synth radiance. The re-injection of fresh guitar lines coincides with lyrical depictions of personal strife following tumult. “It’s over, now it’s over, now I’m driving, I ain’t sober,” the vocals admit, venturing into a more expressive final minute with soaring vocal melancholy and punchier guitar/synth/rhythmic interplay. “Now It’s Over” is a thorough success from DEVIN MØRE.
