“Gubby” is the impressive debut single from Tulsa-based band PUSH. The track’s hazy, subdued vocal delivery consumes amidst both serene guitar trickles and bursts of wailing distortion. The uptick in backing distortion around the two-minute mark, leading into the “just tell me it’s alright,” refrain, stands out especially.
A lush, heavenly synth envelops through a satiating conclusion, complemented by a submerged, melancholic vocal touch. “Gubby” impresses with its range of heavy rock fervency and dreamy, atmospheric beauty, set alongside lyrics that — per the band — “explore the inner-dialogue of letting go of love, and reminding oneself firmly that in the end, it’s gonna be alright.”
