Tales of moving on and getting older often are wrapped up in a forlorn sonic. Monza Express have flipped this with hints of early Roses and REM guitars. There’s an effortlessness to the guitars, which brings the joy of Felt and Lemonheads racing to the surface on this lo-fi boozy anthem.
There’s a great pub atmosphere to the record, where youth would reach for the ecstatic release, a search for something else; Monza Express, comfortable in their elder skin, nestle into the corner of the pub with a sublime harmonica solo.
