Horsebread’s first single “Rely” is a unique combination of shiny and emotional rock, with some darker moments of captivation. The song demonstrates smooth transitions, chameleon-like arrangements, and vulnerability, which reflects the duo’s musical maturity. The ethereal emotional vocals and hard-hitting drums give the listener a roller coaster ride.
The lyrics are intimate and honest, lending an air of authenticity to the song. The track includes warming vocals and glittering guitars, with a moodier alt-rock bridge in the final minute, demonstrating the act’s structural versatility. All in all, “Rely” is a powerful proof of the creative harmony of Andrew Frazier and Sam McLeod and it is a great debut by Horsebread.
