Playful, exuberant, and an all around treat on the ears, The Cookie Jar Complot deliver a raucous and riveting indie rock ride on ‘Oh Anna!’. The delightfully melodic electric riffs and synth work add a differentiated sheen to the song, a kind of glistening resplendence that sets it apart. The entire piece is an instrumental showcase of dexterity, precision, and meticulous prowess from back to front. It ascends with such verve and stature, a kind of overwhelming and majestic scale that unravels itself onto you with a flurry and tempo to keep you in line throughout. Constantly oscillating between different sections, you never find yourself for a moment thinking that there’s a lull moment or a mundane section to endure. It consistently delivers increasingly intricate and lavish sonic textures to gobble up over and over again.
‘Oh Anna!’ is a sonic tapestry unlike most, a kind of heavy yet soothing confluence that’s a sheer earworm without a word needing to be said.
