Bubblegum bridges dont typically offer dissertation-worthy sociological commentary, but thats what youll find in Capacity, the brand-new single from Brooklyn-based indie pop-rock band Charly Bliss. I was raised an East Coast witch/Like doing nothings sacrilegious, Eva Hendricks sings, condensing a generation of over-scheduled middle-class upbringing into a few short pop hooks. Triple overtime ambitious/Sentimental, anxious kid.
On Capacity, the quartet slows down the tempo and dials down the Nineties guitar fuzz from their 2017 breakout, Guppy.The result is a graceful synth-pop meditation part twentysomething anthem, part catchy confessional that couches its larger point in Hendricks razor-sharp self-analysis. Im at capacity, Hendricks sings, simultaneously surrendering to and celebrating a lifetime of millennial burnout. Im spilling out of me.
