Having released a staggering 9 singles back in 2024, The Dialtones have now opened their account for this year with the strong new tune, "Naming No Names". The Austin-based band's new cut is off their upcoming EP, and if the rest of the record is going to be like this then it may be a contender for best of the year.
... a smooth, synth-driven track with fuzzy guitars
For me I loved the smooth synthy tones that wallow around in the background, while the fuzzy guitars at the forefront gave me plenty to groove along to. Vocally this is also a delight with a voice that you can eaisly hear emotion in, and thankfully isn't too down in the mix that you can't appreciate it.
The highlight for me is a very Art-Rock type breakdown that made me remember those early Everything Everything tunes, what a time that was.
