Single โPerfect Timingโ by the Cleveland rock duo Groundstate, featured on their album The Things We Leave Unsaid, is a powerful and intense track that resonates with the alt/rock sound of the late 90s and early 2000s. Produced by acclaimed rock producer Jim Wirt (known for his work with Incubus, Hoobastank, and Centershift), the song has gained recognition, particularly on radio, showcasing the bandโs ability to capture the essence of a bygone era while infusing it with a modern twist.
The track opens with a barrage of riffing and driving guitars, creating a live and raw atmosphere. Gripping the listeners tight, the drums provide a solid foundation, pounding upfront with a tangible energy. The luscious and thick vocals sing with passion and frustration, tinged red, raw, and fresh.ย As the cymbals splash and cut through the mix with cold sharpness, the emotions in the lyrics intensifies.
Aidan, one-half of Groundstate, shared that โPerfect Timingโ delves into his struggle with anxiety and mental health. The words vividly depict the internal turmoil and the desperate need for a way out. The song becomes an anthem for resilience and hope in the face of overwhelming challenges.
The guitar solo in the bridge takes the intensity to another level, conveying the depth of emotions that are sometimes difficult to put into words. It becomes a musical expression of the angst and weight of the feelings the artist is grappling with.
โPerfect Timingโ gives resilience and drives us to the light amid darkness with its compelling force, while easing the tight profundity of the darkness. If you love this trackโwhich you willโthen you will also love The Things We Leave Unsaid. So check it out!
