Tayls are back with their latest single, ‘Nightmare’. The Nashville act are responsible for bringing some serious colour into our lives recently. New tunes that inject psychedelic goodness into our minds and help make the mundane feel a little fun again. As much as their latest does just this, it also fights the good fight too.
Written during tumultuous times with the Black Lives Matter protests, ‘Nightmare’ imagines a loved one fighting for justice and sees the band document their fear at them potentially never coming home again. Lyrically it details a bleak picture, creating an incredibly drawing narrative and a big contrast against the instrumental. Backed with huge walls of synths that fill the ears with an idyllic tone, it is undeniably catchy too. With the real highlight being Tayls’ ability to harness their vocals to create some dazzling harmonies.
‘Nightmare’ shows that Tayls can use their larger-than-life sound with topics that are hard to swallow, but the result is a song that is powerful in multiple ways.
