A no-frills alt-rock appeal shows on “Tik Tok,” a track from The Absolute Nobody that also features the guitar work of Michael Gurley. Guitar-forward momentum complements vocals that elude to “something waiting in the shadows of the aether,” showing shades of Squeeze in the fusing of peppy guitars, bright organs, and hooky vocals. Gurley’s work excels at mid-point especially, unleashing a fervent soaring that further bolsters this satiating alt-rock sound.
