My Satellites latest single, ‘Denial’, is a party starter, a hefty psychedelic indie pop track with a heavy dose of groove. The rhythm section is a blend of 70s funk and 80s synth pop, while the melody is both catchy and current. It’s the perfect track for working those summer muscles and is both memorable and relatable.
Bryan Stage is the frontman, teaming vocal with guitar and keyboards. Andy Marshall performs on bass, keys, and guitar. Hitting a drum is what Dan Grimes perfectly does in this song as this underlies the tune’s vibrant sound.
“Denial” delivers the tale of couple one morning after their first hugest argument. The cruellest and most hurtful words will have already been exchanged, there will be screaming and tears, and all that will be left is the raw emotions. However, the man encourages the woman to carry on and move forward, as well as to eliminate the negative emotions, remaining with only the positive and happy feelings. The song talks of that frustrating, unresolved phase where none of the partners are willing to admit that this is the result of some underlying problems in their relationship. They daringly shrug off the fissure that’s about to unfold, captivated by their obsession.
The interplay of drum, guitar and synth rhythmic beats results in an incredible musical sound, which makes listeners have unique and enjoyable experiences. The kick of drums, for instance, does an outstanding job and together with the vocals all these instruments blends perfectly. And every sound is clearly heard, which is equally responsible for the complexity of the composition considered either
The artist’s vocal delivery really stands out and she has a perfect intonation and some falsetto, resulting in a song that is just irresistible. “’Denial” as a title is not only catchy but also puts a relatable story on the backdrop of irresistible beat and thereby cements its place in the annals of funky, feel-good music infused with nostalgia.
