What a beguiling song. As a writer, it is your job to unpick songs to reveal what is happening underneath and then aim to convey that in words. Now, the sonic component parts of Escape are lying around my desk in pieces, and I’m still unsure what is happening or how it all goes back together. I know I like it, but it shouldn’t work, not on paper anyway.
So now I have ragged, alt-rock riffs laying about over here, thunderous metal backbeats over there. Garage rock grooves kicking about, punchy rock and roll vocals in one corner, and a strange swirl of pop infectiousness being subsumed under alternative soundscapes in the other.
I’ll let CircleKSK put it all back together; I wouldn’t even know where to begin.
