Stockholm-based band Marble Mammoth preview their upcoming EP, Misty Days, with the new single “Glitch” — building seamlessly from jumpy rock intrigue into blistering distortion. Twinkling keys add a debonair chilliness to the escalating vocal fervency, pondering on the pursuit of validation amongst many in society today. “Conceptualize your brand, to keep you in demand,” the vocals let out. “We’re caught up in a glitch,” they further, eluding to how one can lose themselves in this relentless pursuit of acceptance and social reverence.
The two-minute turn captivates especially in its shifting to thumping bass and melodic guitar tones, moving cohesively back into the vocals — which navigate from a suave introspection into a final rock-friendly invigoration. “Glitch” is a fantastic, climactic success from Marble Mammoth, who successfully intertwine poignant relevance into their lyrical insight alongside the evident melodic immediacy.
“In a world where happiness and success are measured in likes and consumption, and where truth is constantly overshadowed by catchy punchlines, we’ve created an unsustainable and unhealthy existence for ourselves,” says the band’s singer and guitarist, Tobias. “It’s a bug in the system, a glitch.”
