Taking us back a little with their unique fusion of nostalgic songwriting and genre-blending, In Case Of Elimination present an instantly infectious anthem, with the unmistakable Partner In Crime.
Always an act to promise an unpredictable twist of creativity with each new release, In Case Of Elimination forever blurs the lines between genres, and drives with an innate sense of artistry and playful musicianship that shifts and rebrands consistently.
Featuring a quick introduction to the unforgettable melodic thread of its roots, Partner In Crime leads with an eighties-inspired groove and equally yesteryear vocal mix and tone. There’s character in the performance, but it’s subtle, and it meets well with the confidence and curiosity of the lyrics.
Things build up with familiarity, almost leaning towards Take On Me‘s tuneful power and presence, but still maintaining that alternative mystique and raw indie band vibe along the way. The instrumental evolves impressively, the final quarter bursting into new life with additional layers that add a nearly live-horn sound to wrap things up on a bright and uplifting high.
Naturally an earworm, presented with the organic warmth of real indie rock, Partner In Crime shines light on a whole new side of the In Case Of Elimination artistic realm. A great start to the new year.
