Stockholm-based band Aggressive Soccer Moms unveil a gripping sound on “The Doppler Effect,” a track from their upcoming album, Naw Yuck City, out in December. Alt-rock and post-punk intertwining enthuse across this standout track. Initially, jazzy percussion and quaint guitars craft a lounge-friendly soundscape to start. An abrupt yet cohesive turn into a fervent garage-rock appeal takes hold, fully brought in as suave vocals recollect “crying on the train,” amidst buzzy guitar distortion.
Sequences of thumping bass dexterity adds to the momentum past the one-minute turn. “Nothing is so fragile, it can’t go away,” the suave vocals continue, sounding like a cross between Wire and The Fall in the vocal variance between contemplation and excitement. Brass-laden adornments and free-flowing vocal passion drive into a satiating final minute, with the vocal call-outs and escalating guitars proving infectious. “The Doppler Effect” is a contagious rock success from Aggressive Soccer Moms. We’re certainly anticipating the upcoming album, which alongside this single showcases a fuller rock sound from the band, aided by the addition of a third member, Tom Holmlund.
