Track Review: Assumption // Cuddle Party

0
591

Californian emo rockers Cuddle Party create an emotive and intense atmosphere on ‘Assumption’ which is taken from the EP of the same title. The song begins with some dramatic chords that stop to leave space for the lo-fi, melodic vocals. The catchy melody is enhanced by the poetic and intriguing voice that utters lyrics such as “I adore you more dear, despite all things said”.

The extremely powerful and emotive vocals are enhanced by the simple yet impactful instrumentation. This, coupled with the lo-fi feel to the song, makes it reminiscent of early cuts by other American alternative rock bands such as Modern Baseball and The Front Bottoms. Despite this likeness, the song retains a distinct sound. Well worth a listen.
