Big No Noโs single โHold Your Horsesโ takes us on a spirited journey through jangly power pop infused with an infectious energy reminiscent of the late โ70s. With a touch of irony and a burst of driving guitar noise, this track is a playful nod to the vintage power pop era, delivered with a modern twist.
The jangly and driving guitar riffs immediately set the tone, evoking a sense of nostalgia for the golden age of power pop. The guitar work is intricate and catchy while driven and exciting, creating a sonic landscape thatโs familiar and fresh. The splashing and sparkly cymbals crashing in the background add to the lively atmosphere, giving the track an air of effervescence.
The falsetto choruses are a standout feature of โHold Your Horses.โ They inject the track with whimsy and playfulness, inviting listeners to join in the fun. These lines are funky and anthemic, making them perfect for sing-alongs and leaving a memorable imprint on the listenerโs mind.
Recorded live at the renowned INGRID studio in Stockholm, with producer Christoffer Zakrisson (known for his work with Viagra Boys and others), โHold Your Horsesโ benefits from its professional and polished production quality. The track exudes a sense of confidence and craftsmanship.
In a musical landscape that often shifts toward complex arrangements and elaborate production, โHold Your Horsesโ by Big No No brings back the simplicity and catchiness of power popโs heyday.
