Whole Damn Mess "Nothing In The World Feels Better"

Just in case anyone out there in internet land was wondering if indie bands are still writing instantaneously catchy songs - the answer is an emphatic "YES," and the song I would like to direct you to is one released earlier this year (2021) by the LA-based band: Whole Damn Mess, featuring their ear-wormy tune "Nothing in the World Feels Better." Though it was released in January, I imagine this will fit well with summer road trip mixes, blaring out of rolled-down car windows, while friends sip on iced coffee headed to some kind of adventurous destination. 



Essentially, the song takes the form of a subtle, yet upbeat rock anthem. The vocal melody is somewhat chant-like in its delivery while the uptempo rhythm section provides a streaming pulse (as you can see in the music video, the robot has no trouble dancing to it). There is a mild psychedelic aspect to "Nothing in the World Feels Better (also available on Spotify) and a little more than a dash of 80's pop (think The Cure/Smiths). As of right now, it seems like audiences agree with me, as of writing this review, the song has over 50K plays on YouTube which is extremely respectable for bands that don't enjoy major corporate backing. Well done gentlemen!
