Danish rock trio KONVOJ stir on their latest track “MIND GAME,” the first single from their album RITUALS. A pulsing post-punk bass line combines with exotic-sounding, swiftly maneuvering guitar twangs. “All of ’em tied up in personal roles,” the vocals compel particularly during a subdued, mystique-filled segment, before bursting back into the bustling urgency of the verses, where lines like “no search for human purpose” further suggest a thematic fixation on rampant comparisons in society.
“MIND GAME” is an enveloping standout from KONVOJ, who describe the release as taking “on the blindness of modern prosperity: our inability to compare ourselves to those with less, and our almost instinctive belief that more is always the answer.”
