Emerging from Glasgow, The Gilhoolys brings optimism and self-reflection by the bucket in the new single, “The Passing Of Time”. The track’s emo hook-laden rock sound is led by Paul Devlin, together with an acknowledging of ultimate timelessness and toughness required to live despite adversities.
This song was recorded at Main St Records and co-produced together with Andy Anderson and deals with issues to do with determination and progress. As inspired by some of the current global issues, “The Passing Of Time” is a call to fellow hardworking people who are overwhelmed by life. It motivates its listeners to be unstoppable chasing their talents and master their stories as they are despite the circumstances.
In its structure, the track is a perfect example of how dynamics in alt-rock should and can sound. The bassline gives the uptempo beat and adds the missing touch that drives the whole song sturdily. Above this, the guitars are electric and switch between distortion and enshrouded clarity in shades of psychedelia. The production followed by that sheen inspired by the eighties give the track a neo-classic urban touch.
In lyrics, the feel of this song ‘The Passing of Time’ evokes reality provoking people to fight against failure and get happiness. The powerful high pitched chorus accompanied by deep and reflective verses give this songnarrative tempo and makes itone of my go-to anthems catharsis.
As a catchy motivational song, “The Passing Of Time” will have listeners toe-tapping to the catchy rhythms, while the lyrics present a message that people can easily connect to. This single is one that will guarantee the band has a lasting impression and a well deserved place of the alt-rock scene.
