SINGLE REVIEW: Shutter - Erase Me
Shutter’s latest track, ‘Erase Me’, showcases the New Jersey grunge rockers’ evolution as they gear up for their upcoming release, “Above Us All”. This song encapsulates the emotional struggle of perseverance, echoing the idea that, despite feeling discouraged, one must continue to express hope—much like the notion of a ‘swan song,’ where swans are believed to sing their most beautiful melodies before their end.
The track features dueling vocals from Jonni Correa and Dawid Warchol, creating a dynamic interplay that adds significant emotional weight. The glittering guitars provide instant hooks that draw listeners in, while the confident alt-rock energy is reinforced by commanding drums and a grounding bassline. The vocal delivery oscillates between gritty intensity and wondrous melody; one vocalist leans into a screamo-influenced tone, while the other offers a more pop-inflected harmony.
In the latter part of ‘Erase Me’, the lull and build-up work seamlessly to heighten the intensity, enhancing the overall uptempo groove. This track is a testament to Shutter's ability to weave narrative depth into their music while maintaining a vibrant, engaging sound, making it a compelling listen for fans of emotional rock.
