An impassioned rock sound stirs on “Bored,” a track from Doom Mutual, a project led by Nashville-based musicians Daphne Browdy and Davis Gestiehr. Quaint guitar twangs escalate into feverish distortion, attaining a grungy intrigue as the “too bored to feel the pain” vocal intensity emerges. “My only friend is my paranoia,” the introspective lyricism exudes, depicting an employer-dependent life where one’s individuality feels at a loss, in favor of societal control. “Bored” is an invigorating melding of alt-rock and grunge, resulting in a thorough success from Doom Mutual.
