A bright and melodic rocker, “Gaffer Tape” is an engaging new single from GLOB, a band from Naarm/Melbourne. Marking the act’s sophomore release, “Gaffer Tape” is described as “a reflection on change, impermanence, acceptance and ultimately, moving on.”
Summery guitar twangs exude an effervescent charm to start. A more understated shift assumes prominence as the suave vocals let out “ain’t it strange how things change,” alongside a thumping bass and gentle guitars. The reprisal of those twangy guitars hits with replay-inducing engrossment, as the contrasting tones between the cool verses and chipper hook crafts a continuous sense of momentum throughout.
The vocal accompaniment to these bright twangs, after the two-minute turn, plays with a fun vigor. Playful synths emerge cohesively thereafter into the rousing conclusion. “Gaffer Tape” is an exciting one from GLOB.
