“The Afternoon Shift evokes introspection with its dreamy, guitar layered verses which bloom into a heavy chorus riff. These two worlds meet as the song comes to a climax. Layered melodies build an expansive landscape that carries the song to a close. Vocals, while sparse and distant, serve to tie the song together and thicken the sonic soup.“
We received a captivating quote along with the submission for this single from a talented group of shoegaze surf rockers hailing from Australia. The song envelops you in a dreamy ambiance, characterized by lush, cascading guitar layers and a slow, melancholic melody that lingers in the air. I was truly entranced by the atmosphere this track creates, as it seamlessly transitions between tranquil, slower segments and more vibrant, energetic bursts, driven by heavier guitar riffs. The overall momentum of the song is impressive, evoking the distinct feeling of summer just beginning on the other side of the planet. Much like a refreshing cold drink on a hot day, this song offers a perfect respite for the soul.
