‘Regrets’ distinctly reminds me of British rock of the late 80s and early 90s. Glistening synths, a rather morose and melancholic tone, and existential topics all come part and parcel in the latest tune from Tired All the Time. The epic alternative/indie rock ballad from this Washington DC based outfit decries our shift towards late stage capitalism, our fixation on superficial spending, and a broader indictment towards consumerism at large and the unfortunate path mankind seems to have set itself down.
There’s something undeniably intriguing that’s bound to pique your interest on this record. Whether its the rather wavy guitar riffs, the over the top synths that just add dimensions and layers of scale to the arrangement, or the beckoning and hallowing nature of the theme its discussing, it is an undeniably powerhouse of a track that seamlessly mixes the old with the new.
