Spanish act Drive Lullaby craft a lovable mixture of dreamy synth-pop and post-punk rhythmic charm on new single “Isn’t it Strange?” — described thematically as “basically about how two people from very different worlds discover that love or connection can exist despite their differences.”
“Your stars they tangled into mine,” a smitten vocal radiance lets out, following a steady building-up of spacey synths and clanging bass undercurrent, the latter reminding enjoyably of New Order. The ensuing chorus delights in its more expressive twanging and layered vocal enthusiasm, letting out: “Isn’t strange, how we collide?” Resembling a fantastic mixture of New Order and The Associates, “Isn’t it Strange?” is an enveloping success from Drive Lullaby, artfully capturing the beauty of connection across personal differences.
