Finding a lovely bridge between hazy psych-pop and hooky radiance, “Stop Drop and Roll” is a memorable track from Rock Berg, a queer, Los Angeles-based indie pop artist and producer. Twinkling keys, spacey synths, and twangy adornments push into a debonair vocal feeling, bolstered by swooning wordless backing vocal harmonies and reflections. “Stop drop and roll, you’re out of control,” a suavely effective hook conveys, the backing instrumentation retaining a steady arsenal of twangs, glistening, and atmospheric intrigue. “Stop Drop and Roll” is a delectably oddball slice of inventive pop from Rock Berg.
