Minneapolis quartet GOWNS is back with one last single before their forthcoming debut album. The synth-rock group has steadily been building anticipation over the past 6 months with increasingly catchy songs, and "Left Behind" brings them to a new high.
GOWNS has never been a band to waste your time. Their primary missions always seems to be getting a scattershot of earworm melodies stuck in your head as quickly as possible. "Left Behind" pops instantly, bridging the gap between Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark" and The Killers' Hot Fuss. Bleeping keyboard lines, in-your-face vocals, and cheesy drum fills reel you in and hold you tight, until the song breaks into an extremely processed sax solo. GOWNS clearly know what works for them at this point, and it's a pleasure to hear them revel in their own composition for a bit.
Listen to "Left Behind" below. Stay tuned for news about their new album.
