A newly released track from Dublin native Fly the Nest, “Old Street Lover” touts a peppy rock sound with accessible appeal. An energetic rhythm section and ascending vocals lead to the satiating “find some satisfaction,” chorus, complete with glimmers of guitar. The title-referencing bridge around 02:15 plays with a slowed-down, retrospective charm — “she’s got it, she’s got it,” Cooper repeats into climactic distorted guitars. “Old Street Lover” shows an infectious, accessible vein of rock with some ’90s Brit-pop nostalgia and overall hooky appeal.
