“Vertigo Season” is a compelling single out today from Scottish band A Sudden Burst of Colour, whose instrumental rock sound compels with a textured, climactic engrossment. Their balance of hypnotic post-punk rhythms, electronic soundscapes, and hooky pop enamoring make for an (aptly) colorful sound, immersing with both its melodic and atmospheric strengths.
Reverbed guitars lend a late-night mystique as the track opens. Dexterous percussion integrates seamlessly, excelling into spacey effects past the one-minute mark. Flickering guitars and thumping bass converge around the mid-point, escalating beautifully into jangly guitar shimmers. A captivating glow emerges from the meshing of trickling rhythm guitars, a brighter lead, and nocturnal rhythmic feelings. “Vertigo Season” is a thoroughly successful showing from A Sudden Burst of Colour — and we’re excited to hear whatever’s next.
