A nostalgic rocker from The Spumonies, “Take a Look Around” consumes with a hooky and relatable charm — fondly reminiscent of The Replacements in its amiable retrospection. The Brooklyn-based solo project of NJ native Evan D. excels with a guitar-driven sound, complemented by lyrics that ponder how “nobody told us those days would end” in reference to a fading childhood. An infectious sound, propelled by momentum-filled vocals and catching guitar lines, stirs throughout — inviting ample replays.
Per the project: “The track captures the bittersweet nostalgia of suburban summers, neighborhood bike piles, and the surreal vibe of The Adventures of Pete & Pete.”
“Take a Look Around” represents the lead single from The Spumonies’ debut EP, streaming below:
