High-octane folk rock with an apparent live capture exceeding expectations and quickly setting the vibe – Cyber and Soul take guidance from the latter part of their name, with the catchy melodic and Celtic knees-up presentation of Shouting at our Screens.
Featuring a stripped back verse of long-form lyrical outpouring, the sea-shanty essence of the song takes hold as we reach the anthemic chorus and togetherness of a repeating “We’re shouting at our screens”.
It’s an age-old style, festival-ready but with a twist of contemporary design that could well imply the future of AI in some ways. Only time will tell.
“We’re shouting at our screens but it’s connection that we seek” is the central theme of this original track, which takes a boldly contemporary realism and blends it with the everlasting appeal of an Irish bar setting and a twist of distorted pop-punk.
The whole thing hits with likable impact, the chorus of voices combining to make for a huge moment or crescendo, and the song naturally gets you keen to replay it.
An absolute must to warm up the colder months, and a confronting reminder of the importance of real life connection over technological escapism and scrolling.
