"I know I'm very ill / but something's happening to me / but I know I must be fine..."
On the frenetic alt rock banger "Galvanize", Mexico's Strawberry Pom traverse multiple genres in truly progressive ways. Not only that, the vocal flow on this track is crazy / hyper, a pushed carnival ride of a melody or manic art punk Mezzo-Soprano of sorts. The synergy here is dense and the genre blending from surf punk / surf rock to art / proto punk to emo-esque rock to alt rock / baroque pop and post rock is pretty dazzling. These guys don't play it safe, they stand on the very precipice, crunching their varied sounds into something artful and mosh worthy. I love when the song almost pauses, becomes gorgeously dreamy turning into a bit of psychedelic post rock atmospheres before the final crash.
"Galvanize" equally feels emotionally all over the place, maybe about the vagaries of youth, the foolish things we all do while we are finding ourselves and how, if we survive, it becomes the stuff that shapes who we are, hopefully all the wiser.
