Download: The Open Feel, ‘Pushing Back’

0

Remember those long, stereo-blaring overnight drives when your vehicle felt propelled not by an internal combustion engines but by the Cure’s bass lines? SoCal duo the Open Feel nail that vibe on their new single “Pushing Back.” Singer-guitarist Katie Harris and bassist-drummer Tom Brayton displayed on their late-2011 EP a deep affection for the roaring, dreamy late-’80s and early-’90s anthems, and recent sessions at Thunder Underground studios in Palm Springs with Trevor Whatever and Harper Hug (Kyuss Lives!, Mondo Generator) – along with recordings in their own Claremont basement – have yielded new material. Harris’ vocals keep “Pushing Back” from drowning in its own nostalgia … a dangerous thing, y’know, if you look too long at old pictures.
