STOCKHOLM’S WASHING MACHINA EXUDES INDIE POP COOLNESS IN THEIR NEW SINGLE “COME ON”
Indie pop has evolved significantly, incorporating grungy elements and embracing rock influences. This has translated worldwide, with bands like Washing Machina finding their groove in Stockholm. Their tender balance of pop catchiness and indie rawness shines through in their latest single, “Come On.”
This gritty, bass-driven single is slow-moving but not boring. It grooves while it moves, carrying a steady tempo without teetering towards boring. Washing Machina has expertly executed indie distortion, mirroring the likes of Lucy Dacus while adding just a smidge more dirt to their gorgeous noise.
The single implements a tight structure; the verses and choruses blend seamlessly between each other, managing to ebb and flow graciously throughout the song. It feels cohesive, engaging, and honest, giving way to unique soundscapes that push the boundaries of genre expectations.
Washing Machina embraces chaos while controlling it, giving “Come On” a sturdy foundation to lean on as its angsty lyrics speak to the soul. The single is catchy, certainly, but beyond that, it captures a timeless message without relying on overly flashy presentation to do so.
