Review
Macseal's "Yeah, No, I Know" is an ear-candy buffet of math rock, emo, and indie rock that's sure to make your heart do a little happy dance. Bursting onto the scene in 2017 with five tracks that stick to your brain like gum to your shoe, this EP proves the band’s expertise in blending catchy and emotive vibes. The opening track, "Twilight Funzone," rushes in with high-energy guitars and urgent rhythms, tugging at your heartstrings with those longing vocal tones.
Riding the emotional rollercoaster, "Harry" hits next, flaunting a soaring chorus and exploring the angst of relationships and personal growth. Then there's "Next to You," which stands out with its infectious hooks and laid-back charm, making it impossible not to hit the repeat button. "Sandbox" is a quick, punchy, technical flash of brilliance, and "These Things Happen" wraps things up with a reflective, self-aware note. Macseal nails the balance between complexity and accessibility in "Yeah, No, I Know," making it a must-hear for any math rock or indie emo fan. - Chloe
