There’s an exhilarating contrast at the core of Sleep Talk’s latest single, ‘Charged’. The instrumental feels like a two-minute breakdown, yet the lyrics and vocal delivery from frontman Jacob Clement only hypes up the listener. These volatile elements meet and explode within the song’s first 15 seconds in a perfect example of hardcore/punk alchemy.
Sifting through the ensuing debris yields sludgy bass tones and impossibly dense walls of bristling guitar that seem locked in a cycle of destruction and rebuilding. All that aside, the energy of ‘Charged’ is pure and undistilled. In those moments where the groove locks into place, it hits with a force that’s as euphoric as it is violent.
Sounds like: A flash of blinding white heat.
