Jake Anderson discovers a funky 90s pop rock throwback from the Sunderland band
Sunderland’s NTGB have already returned with their newest track Till I’m Gone. With the excellent graffiti-style artwork, and the depressing title I was unsure where the sound of this track would take me.
However, what unveiled itself was a really funky 90s pop rock throwback. The track emits that same fun energy that songs from that era did, with a lively vocal performance by Gaz Brown over some groovy bass lines – the song’s hook has burrowed its way deep into my skull.
I don’t know if it was an influence on NTGB, but the song wouldn’t feel amiss on a They Might Be Giants projects, especially with the celestial-sounding organ that creeps into the mix.
