Sunday Single | The Argument - "Come Together"

My first thought was, "Oh no, this better not be another Beatles cover." Thank God it's not.

The Argument is a trio of Minneapolis high school kids with musical abilities well beyond their years. After releasing their debut EP Heart of Gold (no relation to Neil Young or Heart to Gold) last year, the band is bursting back onto the scene with "Come Together."

On the back of Dom Winterbauer's sleek bassline, vocalist/guitarist Lydia Wisti incites a riot of indie flavor and delicate forcefulness. She presents her argument (ha) with precision in each verse and the bridge. The chorus gushes relentlessly from the floodgates, spreading whitecaps of interwoven harmonies and bright guitar chords. 

While Wisti may stand at the song's center and command the listener's attention, there's a reason that the cover art depicts a bass. Winterbauer's fluid plucking acts as a conduit between Wisti's intensity and drummer Stella Robinson's understated fills and beats. Each note is placed exactly as it should be. 

The Argument proudly resist the hissing vortex of indie kid complacency and stand proudly, anchored by solid composition and high-energy performances.
