Dancing About Architecture reviews “Similar”
Arts publication Dancing About Architecture has shared this review of “Similar”:
The ‘Tethered Together’ album is graced with impeccable songwriting that shines with lush harmonies, angular guitars, dramatic keyboards and strings backed by a rhythm section that smokes. Erich Specht muses on relationships and loss, as well as the weight and joy of life, in a manner that is poetic and seems effortless, his lyrics fitting to the melody like pieces of a puzzle. Wearing his vulnerabilities like a badge of honor, this music takes us on a journey to unexpected places.
The Big Takeover reviews “Similar”
The Big Takeover has shared this review of “Similar”:
What the Chicago quintet has always done so well, and what they certainly do here, is make music that echoes those heady days of the late 20th century, where rock energy and pop infectiousness were deftly woven together to create a vibrant and vital indie scene.
But that was then, and this is now, and now is about taking the spirit of those times,, that era’s sonic vibe, and bringing it brilliantly up to date. This they do by embracing those great rock riffs and indie-pop infectiousness, pulling off a great balancing act of drive and deftness, and, in turn, blending that familiarity with a freshness which comes from beguiling electronica and cool keyboard runs.
Skylight Webzine reviews “Similar”
Arts publication Skylight Magazine has published this thoughtful review of “Similar”:
Lyrically, “Similar” is philosophical without being didactic, exploring upon issues of personality, and vision. Lines like “Under the skin and bone / Under a microscope / We’re similar” appear almost scientific at first, but are given with soul thanks to the presentation and structuring of the arrangement. The vocal performance is confident but not “cold,” reflecting the song’s balance of consideration and beauty. Push Puppets do an act of balance that is familiar and modern—arena-sized in sound, but cozy in heart.
The Spill Magazine premieres video for “Similar”
Music publication The Spill Magazine has shared a premiere of the new video for “Similar”.
“Similar” is the third vibrant teaser of their record, their meticulously crafted soundscapes recalling the infectious hooks of Fastball, clever lyrical turns of Ben Folds Five, the shimmering polish of Gin Blossoms. The Shins and Toad the Wet Sprocket also come to mind here. With a clear understanding how to construct compelling musical moments, their production allows each element to gleam, resulting in tracks that are both immediately engaging and possess a lasting resonance.
