“Drawing By Design” is a stirring, enthusiastic track from Mother Culture, the Melbourne-based duo comprising brothers Darcy and Spencer Ward. Touting a crisp and vibrant vein of poppy rock, “Drawing By Design” lyrically captures the feeling of being in a relationship with someone who often acts without thinking. The “it’s comin'” refrain starts the momentous build, culminating in the ardent title-referencing vocal punctuation echoing the spontaneity — though potential tumult — of such a partnership. The “it’s never enough,” ensuing vocal channels a bouncy rock energy that easily hooks; the contrast between the psych-friendly retrospection and vibrant rock play with an interesting, successful fervor throughout.
