A melodic power-pop success from Verry Gerry, “The Face You Try To Hide” melds chugging guitar momentum and soaring synth appeal within a hooky vocal vigor. Bouncy bass and playful synths complement a more understated presence initially, traversing seamlessly as the “tide’s shifting in,” into a distortion-friendly fervor. Reminding fondly of Ozma in its melancholic power-pop peppiness, “The Face You Try To Hide” is a stellar output from Verry Gerry.
