We have already written extensively about Milwaukee-based duo The Pulltops, yet we are keen to welcome them again on our pages. First of all, they have been very productive this past year, which says a lot about their passion for the craft. Also, they seem to have slowly pivoted towards a more eclectic approach, blending indie and power pop influences into their original alt-rock identity. Well, guess what: they are going back to their roots!
‘Red Eye Open Sky’ sees the group jumping head first into a vibrant and nostalgic alt-rock record, still packed with wonderful songwriting and relatable melodies. The listener will be able to instantly notice the refinement around The Pulltops’ storytelling, now anthemic and catchy. The balance between instrumental prowess and lyricism is now complete, and as a full package, ‘Red Eye Open Sky’ is the perfect single.
Shiny, lush guitar tones, hard-hitting drum grooves and an evocative wall of sound, all underpin the band’s wonderful vocal harmonies and charming tone, fully capturing the listener’s attention. Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Red Eye Open Sky’, they explain: “It captures the haunting experience of late-night solitude on the open road, where every mile brings you closer to love yet reminds you of the emptiness left behind.”
