Embracing a Kraut-rock escalation as debonair conversational tones build into blaring brass and expressive vocal ardency, “Tunnel Vision” is a riveting audible journey from modernform. The Austin, TX-based five-piece enthrall with their knack for eclectic structural and aesthetical pursuits, noting inspirations like Joy Division, Radiohead, and Shame. The beautifully sprawling track, full of riveting tonal peaks and valleys, has us anticipating the act’s first LP; “Tunnel Vision” represents its second single.
“There’s a buzzing in your ears,” suave vocal intrigue moves into chilly guitar tones with seamless captivation. “Give into the rhythm,” they implore further, enthralling into a burst of vocal emotion at mid-point as a refrain of that line arrives — inducing replays firmly with its variation from debonair contemplation into addictive vigor. “Tunnel Vision” doesn’t let go from start to finish.
