What These Days Sounds Like and Verdict

This fresh single caramelises a fluid flow of practiced ambition. Against a backdrop of wistful production, there’s an element of understanding the game’s history while introducing new momentum.

Bridging between a 1980s-early 90s vibe, written portents of the song are perfectly pitched to each and every facet of its production.
