The shape of the song

Sunset at 3:00

The skyline is the song’s loudness, second by second, measured from the master. The sun sits at its loudest moment.

About the song

Piano, horns and three voices

Down in Pueblo followed Elevator, the band’s debut single. It trades Crewless’s club side for something slower: real piano chords and a horn section set against samples and electronic textures, with the band’s three voices carrying the song.

Reviewers heard it as organic and electronic at once. R+ in Mexico called out the bright piano and trumpets, SoundVille the deep, melancholic vocals over sleek drums, and The Wild Is Calling the untamed verse drum part and a chorus that pivots into something catchy. The lyrics leave room for interpretation; several writers say they found themselves filling in the story.

The flawless chorus stands out

— SoundVille

The unorthodox approach to the verse drum part is excitingly untamed

— The Wild Is Calling

Stylistically we think it should connect with fans of Haim and Lucius

— The Wild Is Calling

Also written up by R+ (Mexico), ParaPOP (Indonesia), Soulwavez, Nagamag.
