RANDOM PLAY
Going into this album, I used to be conserving my fingers crossed for an additional tune like final 12 months’s hey! hey!. I’ll in all probability be hoping for that every time TWS make a comeback as a result of I really like that tune a lot and anthemic rock music actually fits them as a gaggle. Strive With Us doesn’t have a monitor on this model, however guitar remains to be used liberally all through. The largest instance of that is Random Play.
Somewhat than go full area rock, Random Play melds bouncy synthpop, hip-hop and guitar distortion right into a catchy combine. As traditional with this group, each the verses and refrain supply probabilities for highly effective vocal turns. That is when the tune is at its greatest. The plonky second verse doesn’t do a complete lot for me, however I really like the prolonged melodic traces in verse one. In the meantime, the refrain has a wide-eyed vitality that looks like embarking on an journey. The melodies right here could possibly be extra full-throated and memorable, however the hook has actual pulse that retains it endearingly upbeat.
