Troy Petty‘s return this season brings back the atmospheric rock and conceptual depth of his style amidst an arena-ready vastness and simultaneous sense of heart.
The Only Way Out Is Through showcases a dash of Placebo stylistically and vocally, but is quick to carve out its own lane for the evocative intentions of Petty and indeed this fresh sense of wholly immersive design unique to this track.
Troy Petty’s music always stands tall in its own right, the songs feel rooted amidst nostalgic rock but ultimately connect for their poetic contemplation and the quiet but clear passion brought to the stage. In this case, short yet effective outburst of volume and weight, distortion and change, elevate the progression and feeling of the song. And this is then contrasted by the gentler follow-up moments of melody and easy rhythm.
Fantastic songwriting, evocative and haunting but catchy. Another worthy contribution to alternative indie rock from the increasingly impressive Troy Petty.
