Charmer by Kings of Leon. Great song, everything else is boring radio rock.
What is it about that song that sounds so different to their other stuff? I've been listening to them a lot and am just curious, no shade
Yeah I had the same question, I don't really understand this take.
So sorry. I replied to the earlier comment just now. Didn't realize I forgot to reply long ago....
And it is much appreciated!
We will have to wait and see.
I do think charmer has some unique elements and is definately one that stood out to me and is a memorable song. I'm just curious about their explanation of how it hits their ear differently than mine
Oh shit. Sorry. I was convinced I replied to this a while ago. Guess I should check my messages more often.
I'd consider the major genre I like to be punk, or punk adjacent stuff. I listen to everything though. People have also said I'm a fan of "weirder" sounding music or the strange part of some songs.
I think it's a combination of the sort of vocal fry/almost screaming coupled with that main driving riff/prominent bassline. It just seems a bit more interesting than the more generic stuff (in my opinion) they have done.
Other than that, just a memory of good times. A friend and I used to jam and we burnt a cd with a bunch of random songs we may want to play. Charmer was on it, and was also the first song I heard by them.
Edit: Also nothing against the band, I just haven't heard a song of theirs that hit the same way as Charmer.
Hey thanks for taking the time to respond. Really appreciate it.
Punk and punk adjacent eh? Check out modernrock.ca
Its not all gonna be to your liking but the guy who runs it got sick of there being tons of good music that he was never allowed to play on the radio station he worked at as a dj for 10 years so he quit and started his own thing.
He's had some setbacks but the guys whole thing is new music, 36 months or newer. Been introduced to some really good stuff I never would have heard of if I hadn't been a fan of his when he was still the afternoon guy on 91.3 theZone out of Victoria bc
Here's a Spotify playlist to give you an idea
