The latest single from New Orleans trio “Woozy” is hashtagged “emotional” on Soundcloud, and whether they mean it as a joke or not, the song’s redlining mash of cymbal sibilance and clipped vocal chorus comes across like the Japandroids anthem we didn’t realize we were missing, while washes of finger-picked guitar and a marching snare drum in the bridge deliver on the idea that you don’t have to be noisy to be a sad punk.
Woozy’s full length debut “Blistered”. Out October 16th on Community Records/EIS.
