Nerve pop quartet Small Reactions have hit plenty of milestones over the past decade, supporting Portugal. The Man, Mac Demarco, DIIV, and Titus Andronicus — on top of receiving praise from Huffington Post, Paste, and Red Bull.
Today, the Atlanta-based outfit has announced they’ve signed with Sofaburn Records for the release of the band’s 2021 album New Age Soul.
Now premiering at Glide Magazine, watch the music video for lead single “Police State” — an indie rock coup d'etat with a punch of jangle pop that salutes The Strokes, Deerhunter, and Tokyo Police Club.
New Age Soul takes Small Reactions into uncharted waters, bringing out their finest moments yet. While the band’s initial M.O. was to subvert indie pop through a state of blissful repetition, they now paint with a more vibrant palette.
For the first time, Small Reactions’ songs breathe, they ride for a second longer, unencumbered as they move towards the light. Through a newfound clarity, the band’s instrumental interplay has been pushed to the top with brighter hues, thicker textures, and modern shapes. It’s easier to tell when lines dive behind corners and return to an altered state. The surprise left turns are still there — now all you have to do is keep up.
