More and more impressive alt-rock from the UK – Transient Spirits channel the poetry and soulful alternative vocal style of bands like Muse, with the hazy tones and rising anticipation of the brilliantly anthemic No Self + No Soul.
Contrast is crucial, and Transient Spirits masterfully employ it here. Softly grungy verses pave the way through slick riffs and riding basslines, towards a huge crescendo of a hook. All the while, the concept and these short lines feel piercingly vulnerable and intriguing – a level of mystique and introspection carefully intertwined.
It’s an exciting, dark and engaging listen, and every time those quiet moments take hold, the wait for the drop is immense, and the hook ultimately pierces through with a perfectly captured vibrancy and passion.
An exciting band, a well-written and perfectly performed song, both nostalgic and conceptually original in its revealing realism and intimate depth.
