A bluesy, distorted rock nostalgia lingers on “COMING.GOING.,” a new track from VELIKA VELIKA, a project based in Belper, UK. Distorted bass amps and live drums complement a chilled-out vocal composure, with a second-half evolution that stretches its legs out a bit into psych-friendly inducement.
Distorted guitars and weary vocals exude a chugging rock nostalgia, expanding with briefly feverish ardency at the 40-minute mark. A suave, fuzzy arsenal persists throughout much of the first minute, setting climactically for another grungy lift-off around the track’s mid-point. “COMING.GOING.” consistently compels in its debonair structural direction, letting loose in the second half as serene, psych-friendly guitar lines meander between bursts of pulsing guitar distortion.
VELIKA VELIKA strut a convincing rock appeal on this success, described by the artist as “about a person in life who thinks that they are finally something – finally attractive to others – finally noticeable though they really have nothing to offer.”
