London-based artist props has returned with "headphones on," with the single having a prelude song (first I've seen for ages) before the main song on the release - with it acting as a 42 second hype before it really kicks off.
... a witty indie-pop cut
One the track starts it's witty and punchy, with soem sounds that reminded me a lot of The Kooks mixed with Two Door Cinema Club.
Speaking about the song props said - "it's about dodging existential dread and wildfires by putting on a good pair of noise cancelling headphones."
There's lots of textures on this, from sizzling horn sounds, to effect-laden vocals, with this sharp indie-pop underpinning that has got me delving into the other tracks that have on Spotify. Clever, catchy, and addictive, "headphones on" proves props has a knack for making serious tunes, so be sure to check out the new EP, "Lullaby" too!
