Cowboy Grizzly thoroughly impresses with “I’m Not Sure Quite Yet,” the second single from forthcoming album Growing Pains. The vocals exude a McCartney-esque charm, particularly reminiscent of his harder-rocking, post-Beatles days. The North Texas-based project shows a ceaseless energy throughout. Elongated vocals at parts, like the 30-second mark and at the track’s conclusion, also remind of Sun City Girls and their creative psych-rock showings. The chugging, hypnotic rock feel throughout “I’m Not Quite Sure Yet” is one that easily engrosses.
The track’s title is a direct response to the album’s first track, “Who Are You?”
“I wrote these two songs in a time of identity crisis for myself,” the artist explains. “I wasn’t sure what I was doing and I was uncertain of the person who I am and wanted to be. This song deals with themes of dissociation, identity, Impostor syndrome, and existential purpose.”
