Raw and energetic right from the very first note, ‘The Kitchen Floor’ by Remain Blank is here to make its presence felt and is here to stay.
The song takes on the shade of a psychedelic rock track, as it dives into a chaotic soundscape that is characterised by the experience of absurdity felt from substance abuse. Featuring jagged gritty guitars, a thumping drum pattern, and raspy, raucous vocals, the song does feel like a swift, hypnotic fall through swirling colours. Lyrically, it features a kind of hyper-focus that usually comes with the use of substances. There is no attempt at filtering with regards to the concept, as the band chooses to keep it as real as possible.
The song is truly one of a kind, with its dark humour, its grit and intensity that complements a solid rock track. You might find it hard to believe that the song was written in just five minutes. This fact shows through in the vibe that the song creates, that’s for sure, with its spontaneous burst of energy. It isn’t one that you can listen to with a straight face, seated in a calm manner. This song brings out energy in you, urging you to move along to its groove, urging you to sing along to it in all the chaoticness that you can manage. In short, it can truly be a cathartic release of energy, irrespective of you relating to the song lyrically or not.
Unique in its concept and in its sound, ‘The Kitchen Floor’ by Remain Blank, with its unadulterated rawness and energy, is an exciting, fresh new track from the world of rock.
