Built on fierce and playful tones, ‘The Ravine’ is a pretty interesting offering. Introduced by a Weezer-style piano, the track theme evolves into an indie-pop anthem more akin to the likes of The Killers and White Lies, among others. Social Creatures still manage to insert a personal, unique flair into it, especially with the fuzzy, heavier chorus, providing a certain eclecticism to an already vibrant tune.
Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, Social Creatures are gearing up for an upcoming EP. ‘The Ravine’ is a worthy preview, showcasing the modern and cathartic sound the band has to offer. While they describe themselves as ‘80s-inspired dance rock’, we prefer taking a different approach to the same concept, focusing on contemporary influences. That said, there’s certainly a melting-pop of pop genres in it; perhaps that’s where Social Creature’s compositional genius lies.
Speaking about the song’s lyricism, head honcho Jono Robertson explains: “The track references a physical place where I had many “firsts,” finding my way back to spirituality through playing music”.
