SINGLE REVIEW: Ando's Record Shop - Dry January

A sincere indie rock gem, 'Dry January' is a contemplative track that captivates with its straightforward guitars and harmonious vocals. There's a barbershop quality to the vocals and how they're arranged in various tones and pitches.

The evocative lyrics convey emotions of breaking habits, overcoming addictions, and recognising the harm being done. It acknowledges the chaos caused by destructive paths and the lies used to conceal bad habits. Viewing life as a burden becomes apparent. It also conveys the sense that acknowledging the issue is the toughest part, making it a song of resilience—a testament to battling through darkness and embracing new beginnings. The more explosive ending serves as a perfect crescendo, celebrating the abandonment of old habits and stepping out of the rain.

'Dry January' is a beautifully executed song with simple yet sublime guitars and profoundly soulful lyrics, exuding a warm, sincere tone. As the holiday season approaches and the new year looms, it's the perfect track to guide listeners toward a fresh start and a renewed lease on life.
