Thematically balancing the tension between healing and pain amidst a momentum-filled rock production, “The Same Thing” is a single out today from former north. Jangly guitar escalations and soul-searching lyricism enthrall across the production. Hazy vocals let out “that’s just how things work” amidst understated guitar jangling and soft acoustic strums, swelling with cathartic immersion into the whirring, fervent chorus: “forever seeking comfort in, what would seem like miracles.”
The alternations between more subdued moments and charged-up fervor captivate throughout, particularly in the feedback-touched guitar build into the invigorating solo that grows into the track’s final minute. “The Same Thing” is an engaging standout from former north, whose textured rock sound has us anticipating what’s next from them.
