Showing a fervent rock sound, “Riff Song” is a track from Drumming Bird, the Nashville-based project of singer/songwriter Austin Sawyer. Full of rising-and-falling guitar tones that lend a climactic allure, “Riff Song” begins with quaint guitars amidst Sawyer singing “I ain’t sayin’ he’s a good guy, what can I do?” into the raucously enjoyable guitar-forward expansion. Apt considering the track’s namesake, the guitar riffs here provide a replay-inducing energy that contrasts enjoyably with the verse’s more understated, clanking approach. “Riff Song” engages throughout with its hooky, climactic rock sound.
