REVIEW// Smashing Lights/ Sounds Different Feels The Same

On their debut single Smashing Lights stake a claim to the teenage population


Earlier this year the teenage population went into meltdown after the members of The 1975 deleted their social media accounts in a flurry of ambiguous messages, leading to rumours about the band's possible demise. As it turns out it was all a publicity stunt to announce their forthcoming album, but had the rumours been true it wouldn't have mattered, not now Smashing Lights have dropped their new single.

Entitled Sounds Different Feels The Same, it draws obvious comparisons to the Manchester quartet thanks to it's fidgety guitars, shimmering synths and pulsing bassline that underpin frontman Jack's falsetto. But equally wouldn't sound out of place next to some of Two Door Cinema Club's more electronic moments.

With debut EP 1 on the horizon, you can bet your black skinny jeans that the teenage population will soon be having a very different kind of meltdown.
