Reflekter – 75 Trips
Reflekter - 75 Trips
Release Date: Out Now
And then, out of nowhere, like a
bullet comes Nottingham band Reflekter with a hot contender for single of the
year! Who saw that coming? Not me. Anyway, the single in question is ’75 Trips’
and it is an absolute indie-rock anthem in the making so listen up. A dirty,
growling bass line gets things going and any fans of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club,
the Black Keys or Royal Blood will be salivating within seconds. The
charismatic vocal of James Gooch (just a hint of Jake Bugg) joins in with
Kasabian levels of confidence and swagger as the band hold themselves back just
long for the chorus as Gooch sings “when all is said done there’s only so far
you can run, you’ve only got 75, 75 trips around the sun”. The slightly
depressing thing is that for a band of such tender years they have a fine grasp
on mortality and the art of writing finely crafted indie-rock bangers without
an ounce of fat on them. Two and a half minutes of uplifting, dance inducing,
rock’n’roll fun which demands a second play as soon as you’ve finished it (and
a third, and a fourth). Cracking stuff.
