Pleaser – “Always Lookin In”
Pleaser has just released their latest single, “Always Lookin In,” which is the first taste of their new album and a divergence from their established sound. The song, at its core, is about exploration and the longing to understand what it means to belong, finding influences in bands like The Strokes and Gorillaz.
The duo manages to capture the soul of those bands while singing to the melancholy of being an outsider and trying to find where to belong. These struggling lyrics are all riding on a catchy riff, making a song that’s not just supposed to be listened to, but an anthem for anyone who’s ever felt a little out of place.
