[@jamessignorile7110]

The Cure is all over this song...

[@burieddagger8064]

Yeah there's strands of the Smiths, the Cure, even really early MBV and other late 80s jangle pop, stone roses, etc. They are continuing to tap the late 80s/90s UK/Irish alternative vein they struck with Jackie Down the Line. It's so good, fresh but nostalgic, pulling clear influence but distinctly original.

[@compucorder64]

​@@burieddagger8064 The Cure definitely, though maybe a little bit more of the Smiths and a bit less of The Cure. I could hear the MBV type influence slightly, maybe in the backing vocals and vocal melody, and layering. But it's not obvious. I couldn't put my finger on a specific band, but late 80s jangle pop is a good description, and I know what you mean with Stone Roses. But maybe leaning a little into early 90s indie. Maybe even that wistful happy/sad nostaglia of Smashing Pumkpkins, Sonic Youth or the sunnier tracks of Dinosaur Jr. Maybe a touch of Lemonheads, or the mood of tracks like Ash - Shining Light. idk, it's hard to pin. Which is good.
