SORRY MARSHAL GETS EMOTIONALLY VULNERABLE IN SHOEGAZE SINGLE “OFF THE WAGON”

Shoegaze has evolved many times over, but its modern iterations have not compromised its charm. Sorry Marshal affirms this loaded thesis, exalting their ooey-gooey guitar tones and emotional vulnerability in their newest single, “Off The Wagon.” Though chillier than a cool May morning, the song energetically encapsulates the essence of being.

Each layer weaves in and out of the next. There aren’t any competing sounds; instead, a group is working in tandem to tell a story. Arguably, that’s the most impactful element of the genre. Sorry, Marshal’s instincts are spot on, as they seamlessly connect the dots between relationships and sonic chemistry.

The group aligns with contemporaries like Footballhead and Ultra Q, who similarly blend gaze-based tactics with punk elements. However, they stand tall on their thanks to their unmistakable signature sound. There’s an ethereal element to it that is simultaneously grounded firmly in the present moment, even while reminiscing.

“Off The Wagon” presents a profound peek into the psyche, with conundrums abound. Sorry Marshal’s earnest takes on love, relationships, and life aren’t overdone, but rather, refreshing.
