Often, music doesn’t need intricate arrangements and experimental research to reach the right audience. Gary Dranow and The Manic Emotions know it well, crafting fragile, relatable gems with a distinct nostalgic outlook. Drenched in vintage rock and pop influences, the Park City-based outfit navigates poignant storytelling and memorable choruses with charisma and confidence, a feature that’s very evident in ‘When The World Is Too Much’, the group’s latest effort.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the track, they explain: “‘When The World Is Too Much” serves as a poignant commentary on the tumultuous political landscape in the US, reflecting on the chaos within the House of Representatives”. Such a modern reference donates the record instant relevance, firmly placing it in the contemporary cultural landscape.
Sonically, the listeners will be greeted by 70s-flavoured, guitar-powered ballad stylings, the perfect vehicle for Dranow’s delicate riffing and Klim Apalkov’s evocative vocals, dominating the track towards a glorious resolution. A worthy listening experience!
