Wild Nothing - “Summer Holiday”
a good break from reviewing last year—let’s blog abt some new band that i don’t even think has a physical release yet. sadly, pitchfork already said what i wanted to say about this but i still want you to listen to it and i’ll supply a quick recap: it’s one of those perfectly needy indie-pop songs until the chorus, when a wordless moan and two unexpected chord changes take it to a more indelible place. the lyrics seem to suggest an early teenage ambivalence (with a little anxiety for good measure), and then there’s that chorus again, expressing so much and so little at once. evocative and timeless.
