SINGLE REVIEW: Thirsty Curses - I Never Learn
North Carolina's Thirsty Curses serve up a banging sunshine anthem in the form of their new single 'I Never Learn' which is a prelude to their forthcoming album, due later this year.
A musical adventure 'I Never Learn' engages with melodic, up-tempo folk tones. A bright singalong with an abundance of joyful jangly guitars and catchy hooks. It mixes up the sound with bursts of deconstructed DIY garage rock riffs to showcase everything the band is about.
The lyrics offer an emotional rollercoaster of the trials and tribulations of love. The idea that while we know we should learn from past mistakes we rarely do. The notion of knowingly allowing someone to mess you around because something is better than nothing. 'I Never Learn' is a relatable listen as we've all experienced toxicity in love, letting ourselves get taken for a fool unable to detach ourselves from another person.
Singer Wilson's vocals are the perfect amount of raw, allowing the feelings in the words to really shine with hints of an Americana twang and genuine sincerity.
'I Never Learn' is an insanely catchy toe-tapper with a vibrant addictive sound.
