Jangling guitars and a heartfelt vocal presence enamor throughout “Sentimentality,” the new single from Liverpool-based duo So, Reverie. Produced by Rob Whiteley, “Sentimentality” bridges a nostalgic ’80s glistening nostalgia with a modern airiness in the “dreams we used to hide,” hook in particular, reminding fondly of Last Dinosaurs.
So, Reverie comprises singer/guitarist Andy Power and guitarist/drummer Cain Garcia, who were previously part of now-dissolved band Avalyn. They went on to form So, Reverie thereafter, influenced by their shared love for alternative guitar music. “Sentimentality” captures that guitar-forward, melodic essence amidst an emotive yearning — kickstarted by opening lyrics that lament a love that’s shown to be “untrue,” being left out in the rain. “Time could never bring us back, to the dreams we used to have,” the vocals soaring during a gripping chorus, inducing replays with its dreamy, hooky immersion.
