Groovy Shirt Club’s latest single, Ultra Violet, proves there’s more to their artistic identity than their audacious fashion choices. With echoes of Pixies drifting between the guitars and basslines in the mellowly iridescent progressions, which are heightened by inventive synth touches, the Deep Blue Something-reminiscent vocals have the perfect platform to soar from.
It’s almost impossible to allude to what this emotionally liberated single does to the soul when the emotion-driven earworm is bedding in and making itself home. The sublime melodies are enough to make even the most steadfast sway, attesting to the capacity of sound to transform your entire sensibility.
If you can’t remember the last time you didn’t feel weighed down, make today the day and immerse yourself in Ultra Violet, which pushes a panoramic vision of sun rays hitting ebbing waves. For any discerning rock fan, the first proverbial spin won’t be the last.
The self-professed ‘Champions of the Yacht Rock Revolution’, are quickly making a name for themselves with their ethos to embed real people, real instruments, real music and real lyrics about life into their infectiously cultivated soft rock staples. Ultra Violet captures this quintessence perfectly, blending their signature style with a fresh, emotionally resonant sound.
Ultra Violet is now available to stream on Spotify.
