An interesting offering, ‘Destroya’ flourishes on an intense yet nuanced blend of electronica and distorted guitars, featuring a certain vintage character that reminds us of early ‘2000 electro-rock, a genre that was pretty poppy in its core essence. The single continues that tradition, being not only a sonically rich slice of goodness but also a lyrically satisfying and meaningful anthem. Ian McEwan’s fierce and dynamic vocals are the perfect match for such an enlightened offering.
Head honcho Craig Hammond completes the lineup, carefully producing relatable and playful nuggets of eclectic matter. The group goes by the name SIR-VERE, a cryptic denomination that well fits their chaotic yet controlled artistic output. With slick guitar riffs and filtered vocals, ‘Destroya’ builds its livery on a tight and groovy concoction of bass and drums, making the single pretty danceable and party-ready.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, SIR-VERE explains: “A snapshot of the alarm and paranoia of life under Covid lockdown, with nature wrath’s and society’s failures combining for maximum oppression, borrowing George Floyd’s tragic words “I can’t breathe” as a catch-all to simultaneously sum both up.” Look out for a reissue of ‘LOVESCOPE’, expected in January 2024.
