Nashville act The Criticals have had a great year, impressing thus far with the tracks “Homebody,” “Kate Moss,” and “Treat Ya Better.” Their most recent of the bunch, “Good Lookin” touts a confident sound, recalling classic rock charisma while also merging the group’s knack for modern indie-rock. “I used to be good lookin,” the vocals howl just past the song’s mid-way point, preceding a great melodic transition at 01:55. The track succeeds in transitioning from an enjoyably raucous first minute or so into a charmingly melodic sound. Another success for The Criticals in 2019.
