Jumping between elements of synthwave, indie pop, and a more pronounced classic rock core presence, Code E1 delivers one of the more catchy and infectious pieces of differentiated rock music I’ve had the pleasure to hear all year. “Nothing Here Sounds Good” is simply electrifying, a flowing and growing piece of exciting indie and synth driven rock music that just continues to grow on you with each passing moment of its duration. It has such a strong character to it, with a vocal performance that feels commanding in its maturity. Yet, it’s in the more relaxed, laidback, and almost child-like innocence that the synth driven production exudes where the excitement is to be found.
You’d be hard pressed to find a more fun, engaging, and also fleshed out piece of synth driven indie rock this month. Code E1 has hit the arrow on the head with this stirring and rousing piece.
