With latest single “Coming Back To Life,” the Contrast brings you a sci-fi anthem that anyone can appreciate for its sophisticated musicianship. Led by Glasgow native David Reid, the U.K. group layers theremin, mellotron and other strings over kooky drum beats and wiry electric guitars to create a deceptively poppy and danceable tune with influences spanning from surf to psychedelia. “Coming Back To Life” was dubbed the “coolest song in the world” by Little Steven Van Zandt on his Underground Garage radio show, and you’ve gotta respect Reid as he throws down in the chorus, “We won’t change/We’ll screw the danger.” Pick up the album, God Of Malfunction (Wicked Cool).
