A jangly guitar undercurrent and swelling synth-laden intrigue combine as Neo Dimes‘ track “How to Love” kicks into gear, culminating in a steadier post-punk guitar glistening as the vocals open, beckoning to “stay with me a little while.” Late-night synths ease in with sporadic, artful immersion as the serene vocals and twanging guitars progress, with guitar strums and clapping ruminations excelling to a spirited chorus.
There, impassioned vocals bolster a synth-embracing mix. “Can you show me how to love? Can you teach me how to trust?” the heartrending vocals let out, crafting an impeccable mood in the journey from the verses’ nocturnal introspections to the more anthemic lift in the central hook. “How to Love” is a standout achievement from Neo Dimes.
The track represents the final single from Neo Dimes’ debut album Alone. They describe the track as “a testament to hope and a cathartic reprieve in an album defined by dystopia.”
