“Oops” is the third single from Manchester-based act T-Shirt Dream Party. Comprised of brothers Ben and Dan Dickson and lifelong friends Eggs (David Egbe) and Sam Powell, the band shows very well here. Fluid, dreamy guitars establish a clanging guitar-pop feel to start, with enthusiastically emotive vocals conveying a suave confidence despite their evident presence. There’s a lovely melodic switch-up approaching the two-minute mark, with more alternative-geared guitars complementing a vocal twist. The track’s final minute is particularly impressive, with increasing correspondence between climactic guitars and rhythm section, as 03:10 reveals a melodic, distortion-heavy payoff. “Oops” is a thorough success from T-Shirt Dream Party. Parts alternative-rock and dream-pop, “Oops” easily entices replays.
