Peer Review: Oxen Free, Make Out




I dig this song right off the bat. I like that pick-y click-y rhythmic riff, and the whole “quiet-loud-quiet” thing. The track really shines when the bigger distorted guitars come in (they really set up the moment well). Make Out does come across as slightly over-composed though; there’s more going on than there needs to be, and for all the stops, starts, dynamic changes and awesome sounding guitar, there really isn’t a strong chorus hook. That being said this would be a strong late album track, y’know, something that adds a lot to the work as a whole. It’s not single material, but it could be that emo track that ends up on mixtapes because someone had a moment with their crush that summer, surrounded by fireflies, down by the lake.
