Coventry-based quartet SENSES craft a stellar sound on new track “already part of the problem,” thematically conveying the perils of complicity within a radiant guitar-led array of atmospheric rock. Their previous single “accelerate our love” enamored with its soaring pop and shoegaze-y synergy, and senses continue to tout a textured, atmopsheric hookiness with “already part of the problem.” Production from Gavin Monaghan again dazzles in its cohesive balancing of heavy guitars with shimmering synth flourishes.
A spacey synth pulse and quick vocal snippet — “you got some serious problems,” — flash quickly before thumping guitar distortion emerges. An anthemic rock sound takes hold thereafter, melding soaring vocal energy within slabs of powerful guitar riffs. The “breaks my soul,” refrain is climactic in its overall ascent, seamlessly incorporating quaint twinkling prior to a shoegaze-friendly roar of guitars. A decisive line — “if you stay silent, you’re already part of the problem,” — speaks to the themes within as a whole, referring to silence and complicity as contributing to ongoing issues. We’re excited for what’s next from the quickly rising act.
