This pulsating work of repetitive riff genius ingrains itself on your brain and does not let go. With more than a little in common with the likes of rock legends Janes Addiction, Middle Class Rut are poised to make a big impression on the rock scene with debut album ‘No Name, No Color’, from which this new single was taken. The band have been making waves for a while now, having already visited the UK several times with bands like Innerpartysystem and Circa Survive. They’ve also caught the ear of certain Radio 1 DJs and discerning fans of rock music won’t find it difficult to hear why this band’s fanbase in both the press and the general public has been quietly snowballing.
The music video follows this duo through a barren landscape and their relentless pacing matches the hypnotically relentless nature of the song. Rather than the repetition being a bore in this track, it creates an enthralling and addictive soundscape to which you’re really drawn into as a listener. Deep and dark, a tad on the depressing side but in a very determined-feeling way that gives the song a sense of resolve, this is a track you’ll find yourself humming in the back of your mind for days after hearing it. It’s almost inconceivable how a mere two-piece make such a full-on sound. But somehow they manage it.
