The Backseat Lovers – Elevator Days

Review

The Backseat Lovers are making some noise with their debut EP "Elevator Days" - it's a rad collection of indie rock tunes that blend raw energy with emotional lyrics and catchy guitar riffs. You can hear the band's youthfulness shining through in tracks like "Out of Tune" and "Still a Friend", which capture that nostalgic feeling of being young and figuring things out. The title track "Elevator Days" is also a standout, with its infectious melody and heartfelt vocals from Jacob Harmon. The band's sound is all about balance, with acoustic and electric guitars working together to create a warm, introspective vibe that's perfect for vibing out.

The lyrics on "Elevator Days" are pretty relatable, covering themes like friendship, vulnerability, and the passing of time - it's like the band is having a real conversation with you, you know? The overall tone is nostalgic and authentic, with a Utah indie vibe that's quintessentially youthful. The EP's slower pace lets the subtleties of the guitar work and lyrics shine through, making it a great introduction to the band's sound and style. If you're into indie rock that's sincere and melodic, without any pretension, then "Elevator Days" is definitely worth checking out - it's a promising start for The Backseat Lovers, and it'll be cool to see where they go from here. - Derek
