Revival has a good amount of dusty, deesrt rock guitar to provide a grittier counterpoint to supersonic vocals that are laid down. Straddling the line between rock and country, The Imaginaries are able to bury an infectious tune deep into the minds and hearts of listeners.
Thinking ‘Bout You has a soft, touching approach that deftly links together Americana, modern country, and pop. The two-part melodies allows each to reach a higher plateau. The backing instrumentation is spot-on in providing a robust backdrop for the aforementioned vox. Shifting things up at the 1:45 mark allows the track to gain a bit more momentum as it enters its final minute.
We previously covered The Imaginaries’ Christmas tracks last year.
