THIRD WARD’S FRESH NEW TRACK “ALLELUIA” IS PERFECTLY UNPREDICTABLE

Some songs start as something and end as something entirely different—and finish as classics. “Alleluia” by Third Ward falls into this category of just eclectic enough, giving listeners plenty of surprises throughout all 4 minutes of the song.

Fans of The Strokes will find comfort in the song’s intuitive melodic composition, while fans of The Arctic Monkeys will revel in a recognizable bass line. Gone are the days of bass players being doomed to an eternity of single root note-ing for four consecutive minutes. ‘Alleluia, as they say!

The track’s vibes are immaculate, immediately transporting listeners into an entirely new world curated by Third Ward. It is evident that the band exists on a plane of its own, calling its shots exactly as it, pleases. This translates into well-crafted musicianship, and not a single note is missed throughout the entire wacky (/positive) mix.

The breakdown about halfway through promotes further artistic integrity. Making choices that veer slightly off-center can create absolute magic. “Alleluia” is as fresh as it gets, and I am proud to be among its first listeners.
