Fly Fly Triceratops, a London-based four-piece, have dropped a new single that's got us hooked. Titled 'Turnpike Lane', it's a stellar anthem that seamlessly blends the intricate guitar work of math rock with the raw emotional punch of emo.
From the first few notes, 'Turnpike Lane' grabs you by the collar and refuses to let go. The track is a whirlwind of angular riffs, complex time signatures, and soaring melodies. It's the kind of music that makes you want to simultaneously headbang and shed a tear. The band effortlessly navigate the tricky balance between technicality and pure, unadulterated fun. One minute you're lost in a maze of intricate guitar interplay, the next you're belting out the chorus with your fist in the air.
The production is top-notch, with every instrument sitting perfectly in the mix. Ben George's vocals are packed with emotion, and the backing vocals add an extra layer of depth. The guitars are razor-sharp, the basslines are thick and groovy, and the drums are tight and punchy. It's clear the band have taken a lot of care and attention crafting the song, and it pays off in droves, delivering a cut that is enjoyable time and time again.
'Turnpike Lane' is a testament to Fly Fly Triceratops' musical prowess. They've taken the best elements of math rock and emo and forged them into something truly special.
