Moose Wrench - Don’t Let Me Down
Moose Wrench is back with their signature absurdist soundscape and charmingly unique vocal styling with their latest release “Don’t Let Me Down”. This song is a liminal space given song form with a soundscape with a hazy quality to it so potent that you can almost convince yourself that you are dreaming. With percussion that is familiar but that sounds like nothing you have ever heard before and with guitar work and vocals following in this theme, Moose Wrench has almost inverted the concept of a song but made it work somehow as this track has an inexplicable magnetism that keeps drawing you to it!
