‘Lone Wolf’ might be only two minutes long, but it surely leaves a lasting mark. Penned by Los Angeles-based rockers Social Gravy, the record signals their return to the international music scene, a whopping four years later after their last release. Following up on 2020’s ‘A Different Kind EP’, the talented pair exhibits a newly-found sense of fierceness and charisma, getting back to their chaotic indie and rock’n’roll roots.
It’s honestly refreshing; while the music industry is moving towards polishing every bit of every record, Social Gravy indulge in raw and fuzzy guitar stylings, packing a track that’s gracefully rough around the edges – just as one would expect from such a punchy power duo. A quintessential classic rock tune infused with modern indie stylings, ‘Lone Wolf’ showcases all of the musical prowess the pair has to offer.
Time might have passed, but their artistic drive hasn’t. Citing the likes of The Black Keys, Soundgarden, and even Aerosmith as some of their recent influences, Brad Kohn and Vee Bordukov write about themes of longing and escapism, perfectly matching the contemporary sentiment for heightened meaning and wider identities. Such poignant lyricism is a strong nod to some of their mellower previous material.
