“Bang” is a lot more fun than a track this moody has any right to be. UPxMT thread a nervy little synth riff through the whole thing and then keep interrupting it with a drop that stutters and cuts out like a bad connection, and somehow the glitchiness is the hook. It sits in that CloudKid pocket where indie songwriting meets electronic production without either one winning, which is a hard balance and they nail it. The best moment is around 2:10 when everything drops to just the vocal and a single pulsing bass note before the last chorus kicks the door back in. There’s a real song buried in here, not simply a beat with a topline stapled on. The melody would survive being played on an acoustic guitar, which is the test most of this stuff fails. I keep replaying the last thirty seconds. It’s edgy without being try-hard, catchy without being cheap, and it’s over before it outstays its welcome. More of this, please.
