Liverpool natives The Post Romantics - consisting of brothers Connor, Cameron and Liam Cockbain and their childhood friend Samuel Barton - have released an intriguing new tune entitled "Call It Off". The band have spent a significant amount of time constructing this release, to ensure that it properly captures who they are as musical artists and it seems that, with the production assistance of Sugar House, they have achieved their goal.
Opening with what appears to be a fairly standard trap beat, the track demonstrates its eclectic approach when these are joined by atmospheric guitars and rich lead vocals. In just under three minutes, the listener is drawn in by a layered sound which is defined by emotive vocal delivery and enveloping instrumentation, judiciously layered.
Between delicate verses and charged choruses, the band present a narrative based on a relationship which is reaching an end before it has even had a beginning. Combined with the melancholic tone, the familiarity of the lyrics highlights the band's attempts to reach a generation who feel dejected and desperate for a distraction. At the same time, they have managed to craft a song which is charming and tuneful.
Despite the multitude of British indie rock artists who have broken through in recent years, The Post Romantics clearly bring something different to the table. If they can cultivate their experimental influences and continue to combine them with a gritty and authentic lyricism then the band have the potential to create music which amalgamates genre in a polished way.
