New York group Blonde Otter has dropped a catchy new track titled 'Your Number'. The self-described modern rock band has gradually amassed a loyal fanbase through its years of crafting a distinct sound.
Since their debut self-titled album in 2021, fans have been eager for more music that draws from a variety of influences to create a fresh, new sound. Now, after a four-year hiatus, they have returned with a fresh new single that feels as though they took no time away at all.
Dan Wines is certainly a lead guitarist who pulls from blues and hard rock influences through his musicianship.. The riff is dirty and hails back to the likes of Franz Ferdinand and early Arctic Monkeys. It juxtaposes great with the clean vocals of Michael Guariglia, whose voice reaches above the instruments to shine through massively. Having said that, having a synth mixed into the song helps give it ties to the 1980s/1990s throwback records that the band enjoy.
The themes of the track delve into the influence of modern technology on the world. It's insightful and raises themes that are ever-consuming in many people's lives. The track masterfully describes the anxiety and isolation that plenty of its listeners will be able to relate to and understand. Having these heavy themes woven into a song of high energy that is catchy and enjoyable definitely helps make it more accessible and reachable to a wider variety of listeners.
