Neversound Stirred the Sludge and Strung Our Solar Plexuses in Where Did the Time Go
With the title single from their debut LP, Where Did the Time Go, Neversound didn’t hold back on the fuzzed-up lamentations or the sludgy distortion that rolls through the six-minute epic like a nostalgic landslide. There’s no mistaking the sonic signposts planted in the murk, but it’s in the extended experimentalism and post-rock-laced moments of stripped-back atmosphere that Neversound prove they’re not just digging up relics. The alt-90s disillusionment pulses through the track, not as a rehash but as a temporal gateway that equips you with rose-tinted glasses before pulling you backwards into the haze. The curvature of the chords ripples outwards while moving through you like Neversound found a way to tether your solar plexus to their instrumentals. The ebb and flow is so visceral you’ll feel possessed rather than passive. From doom-laced dirges to raw classic rock howls that scrape their way up through the mix, the band finds plenty of room to burn through their influences without ever falling flat in imitation. With Deftones, Nirvana, and Alice in Chains seeping in at the seams, Neversound rips open space for the type of catharsis that defined an era and refuses to let it go gently.
