Melbourne-based act Low Key Crush concoct a serene delight with the new track “Night Time.” Warming guitar jangles and yearning vocals drive to blissful moments like the two-minute turn, a consuming culmination into synth-driven effervescence. Tonally, the verses recall The Stone Roses in tone; quaint guitars and understated vocals gradually escalate with melodic charm.
The nocturnal, melancholic soundscape is accompanied by lyrics that capture a yearning to find meaning in seemingly uncontrollable emotions. “I couldn’t, I wouldn’t,” the vocals let out during the verses, showing a restraint in embracing certain feelings. Contemplative and emotively impactful, “Night Time” is a convincing success whose melody lingers with haunting effect.
Low Key Crush are releasing an EP, Bats Over The Eastern Freeway, in the coming months.
