Control

GoodBooks

High-gloss indie rock with a jittery, danceable pulse. Shimmering guitars and breathy vocals capture the frantic energy of 2007 London nightlife.

It's like if The Cure grew up in the 2000s and discovered synthesizers and a drum machine.

A high-energy blend of danceable optimism and underlying urban anxiety.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive transition from the sparse intro to the driving, danceable beat of the opening track.
The way the guitars interlock with a mechanical, clockwork precision during the bridge of The Illness.
The unexpected emotional weight and historical gravity found in the soaring chorus of Passchendaele.
The sprawling, atmospheric evolution of the nine-minute closer as it shifts from structure to ambient decay.
