SOS comes to us from Portland with trappy euphoria and a beat that begs for a guest appearance from the likes of Rick Ross. Not yet, but maybe one day. (If you listen closely, you can hear something that sounds like a Rozay-woof a couple of times.)
The band encompasses the feeling of youthful experience -- that which motivates us from day to day in the younger years of our lives -- and this track speaks to that more than anything.
From the beginning, listeners are thrown into a moment that could be anyone's, with the tension of not being able tolet go. The chorus of the song,"I think I'm better, better off when I'm drunk or high,"speaks for itself, but following such a meaningful admittance of vulnerability, touches on an inevitable subject of our generation: our fear of letting go.
Be it a lover, a death, a friendship, whatever it is, the remedy transforms into a universal understanding of craving numbness. The sounds -- all slightly minor and dark, counter this. You aren't listening to a pop star or rapper talk about getting wasted, but rather, a troubled heart that just wants to feel sane again.
Album debut: September 16!
