L.A.’s sunny troubadours Sure Sure add to their collection of feel-good melodies with a new single, “Idiot.” Perhaps a bit more low-spirited than some of their previous releases, this track takes a standoffish approach to reading others, not only sending a clear message, but acting therapeutically through self awareness with each mantra-like return of the chorus.
There’s something about the way this band writes music that gives it that caffeinating, addictive quality. It’s with subtle touches like adding a synth track on the second verse here or layering a doubled vocal line there that gives the sound that patented Sure Sure polish. In the end, this time-tested brand of indie surf rock that they’re serving up is definitely working for them.
“Idiot” is the second single release for the band in 2018 thus far, and if the thematic artwork design is any indication, there’s an album on the horizon for these guys. In the meantime, they’ve given us plenty to dig in to here.
