Setting the tone with a luxurious synthscape, pulsating bass-line, and dimensional electric guitar, PAGES. open their latest release, So Wrong So Right, with the situational and introspective lyrics, “Step in, step out, without making a sound, you’re searching for the place you never found…”
The opus expands into a transcendental indie-pop-rock energy, filled with poetic nuance and intricate production. We are mesmerized. We love the vocal add libs and harmonies, along with the question-answer style of lyrical delivery.
The middle-8 breakdown is ethereal with a dope guitar solo and powerful drums as the track builds back into the final reprise. Based between Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow, the trio showcase a thrilling nod to the 80s with So Wrong So Right, whilst maintaining a sense of futurism with the mix and production.
We learn that So Wrong So Right was recorded by PAGES.’s producer Joseph Schmidt, in the United States, and that the hard rock guitar riffs are designed to get us jumping, which they do!
The band cite influences including Royal Blood, Arctic Monkeys and The Killers, although it is clear that PAGES. are creating a universe of their own!
We have added So Wrong So Right to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream PAGES.’s wider discography including Black and Blue and Snow.
