Hooky vocal emotion and a moody post-punk underlying intertwine on “Inside Yr Mind,” the latest single from Canadian act Neurotypes. Bright guitar twangs accompany an initially suave vocal styling, showing a pulsing energy that aligns with a more ardent vocal push past the one-minute turn. A surf-y melodic feeling surrounds the vocal work in this rise, enamoring with the responsive qualities into glistening synths thereafter.
Striving successfully to “find the beauty and dance-potential in resentful emotion,” “Inside Yr Mind” compels with its meshing of murky post-punk textures and a frequent sense of hooky immediacy, apparent especially in the shimmering guitars and impassioned vocal twists.
