Beck Pete and Timothy Brown deliver a duet of eerie misfortune and blood-pumping drum lines.
"This Ain't Halloween" feels like the classic punk October track of the 2000s refreshed and readjusted for a new era. The pop culture lyricism is new, the bumpy romance is anxiously relevant, and the beat is as indie and rocky as a campus student in thick grunge makeup.
The new era of teenage fall romance gets its whimsical horror anthem with "This Ain't Halloween."
Beck Pete and Timothy Brown have tricked us into this absolute treat.
