Why do we like this?

The off-beat drums are what pull me into this track. It's a pleasant indie tune that has little twists and turns throughout the song that keep you discovering new favorite things with every listen.

For a rather hip-hop fueled week or so of releases, this is a welcome change in a new music playlist. The recurrent lyrical thread - "I can't take much more of it, I'm about ready to quit" - is an easily relatable outburst. One that you might indulge in or one that ironically the smoothness of a track like this might help you overcome.
