OK GOODNIGHT EMBRACES AMBITIOUS NEW ERA IN “22”
Like lightning to a tree, the versatile OK Goodnight struck down an incredibly dynamic sound in “22.” Ahead of their new album, the Boston-based band gives us a creative take on their uncompromising sound.
From the kicking drums to the melodic guitars to the angelic vocals, the track is a prog masterpiece. The prowess of vocalist Casey Lee Williams is truly unique, bending it in whatever way she wants, whether it’s melodic singing or enchanting screams for the universe. Each low, raspy hum speaks to the soul, complemented by the band's sharp, resonant tones.
There’s never a dull moment when listening to “22.” The melodic tune has a heavy prog lean, with a touch of experimental and math-rock influences. Refusing to stick to a tempo, each slow moment leaves you on your toes. The sound is addictive, leaving you with a few moments of recollection before thrusting you into another set of incredible, moving chords. Each twist captures the band's enchanting aura.
Through the cloud of their epic sound, the band weaves in the darkness of a toxic cycle using the clever motif of a spider’s web. They effortlessly capture the chaos of uncertainty in betrayal, and take you along for the ride in both lyrics and sound.
The track is hard through and through, with insane musical chemistry between the entire band. It leaves you in a hypnotic spell that requires an instant re-listen. OK Goodnight absolutely found their groove in “22,” maintaining a beautiful performance with heavy-hitting moments that absolutely seal the deal. This is an exciting look into their upcoming album ‘stop/go,’ set to release on June 12.
