“Why Not,” a new single from Modesto, California’s Socks, is an indie delight. The track gallops out of the gate with the most irresistible bass-propelled groove. Chops of guitar pierce through the rhythm, as do playfully energetic vocals. Closing out their debut LP, this dreamy and highly accessible tune shows a great deal of promise for the Central Valley quartet.
Modesto, California-based indie rock act Socks, debuted their track via the world wide web last week and it has been stuck on repeat throughout our Labor Day weekend. “Forevermore” is all about the honey moon phase of a relationship. Nothing can go wrong and your heart is just melting constantly. Although the band is still in their infancy (playing together for only five months), the band has a forthcoming EP, expected to be out at some point in November. Fans of Mac Demarco, Summer Salt, or Pleistocene (for a local spin) will like the band’s sunny and sweet demeanor and knack for hooks. You’ll be singing along to notes you probably can’t hit, but that won’t stop you. Check it out.
