“Hardware Store” is a dynamic, grippingly melodic single from April Fools, via their upcoming EP. “I think I need another drink,” the initially understated vocals admit, driving aptly into a sweltering array of guitars — invoking a ’90s nostalgia in the blend of heavy distortion and wailing twangs.
The production consistently enamors in its delectable tonal rise and falls, maintaining an anthemic spirit into its “meet me at the hardware store,” culmination: “We could fix you.” The second half is gorgeous as well, featuring a soaring vocal immersion and dreamier, organ-touched rock pace. April Fools thoroughly impress on this infectious, nostalgic rocker.
