Pop Song by Auckland, New Zealand's post punk trio REPAIRS ("a dark and anxious admission of imposter syndrome") is a sinfully engaging trouble maker of a song. The dangerous sounding guitar notes hang in the air as the bass and drums feel like a churning machine of confusion. Not for the faint of heart, the song feels like a puzzle that doesn't fit with out stomping the pieces down on the table. It feels like too much caffeine in your system while you are already anxious but it is so much fun too. The pretty vocal aesthetic (Nicola) within the fray soften's the punches. It is a much needed counter position before you start breaking things:
"Just write what you know
they said
Turns out
I don't know much at all"
Then when the vox stab with off beat up strokes, the craziness ramps up:
"Blank mind
Blank page
Blank thoughts
Blank screen"
In the end, all they want to do is write a fucking pop song. I am smiling at the divergence here, the formidable disarray that is lovely in an insane way. Sort of a perfect song right now.
REPAIRS post punk eruption "Pop Song" is their third single of 2020 and opening track from their forthcoming debut album "Repeat, Repeat" dropping September 18th.
