A little throwback and a lot of fierceness: that’s the formula The Gilhoolys seems to champion in their latest record. A charming, energetic single, ‘Little Glasgow Boy’ is one of the best indie rock tracks we have heard in a while, mainly due to its simplicity and catchy, empowering melodies. Built on sharp and fuzzy guitar tones and steady drums, ‘Little Glasgow Boy’ takes us back to the early 2000s, even pointing to some veiled 90s influences.
That’s only natural, coming from The Gilhoolys: based in Scotland, the Glaswegians know a thing or two about being a band, boasting years of wisdom and experience under their belts. That’s fine by us: in an industry where artists seem to get younger and younger, it’s rather refreshing to observe older musicians not giving up on their creative flair.
‘Little Glasgow Boy’ showcases the unmatched energy and inspiration The Gilhoolys still have to offer. Wrapped in a lush sonic livery, the song takes the listeners on a four-minute vivid journey into nostalgic lyricism and generational resilience, something that we are confident will connect with many listeners out there.
