Something New // Afterwards
‘Something New’ is the standout track and single lifted from Italian band Afterwards‘ latest EP Rage. The whole EP was written, recorded and produced entirely by the band themselves as a result of having no record deal to help them out. Despite this, the EP, and particularly the aforementioned track, sounds wonderfully assured and professional, in a smooth, subtle way.
The song is brilliantly catchy, sunny almost, with obvious inspiration coming from renowned indie bands such as Peace and Circa Waves. “Now this feeling / goes on and on and on”, the infectious chorus chants, and, rather inevitably, so will you be after a few spinsĀ of this track. Not to mention, they’re all worryingly attractive, which is reason enough for you to go and take a listen.
