‘Something of Nothing’ by Talk in Code is an Argument Dressed up as a Synth-Pop Banger

Written By Da Da Da Music

Artist: Talk in Code Single: Something of Nothing Genre: Synth Indie Rock, Pop, Indie Pop, The 1975-esque Release Date: March 1st, 2024

Hailing from Swindon, Talk In Code brings their own brand of indie pop to the forefront with their latest release, "Something of Nothing." Drawing inspiration from the likes of the 1975 while infusing their own unique energy, the band delivers a track that sparkles with infectious melodies and pulsating rhythms.

With influences ranging from Pet Shop Boys to modern producers like No ID and Mike Dean, Talk In Code crafts a sound that is undeniably catchy and poppy. Lead singer's excellent vocals soar over huge drums and shimmering synths, creating a sonic landscape reminiscent of neon lights.

The chorus of "Something of Nothing" is irresistibly catchy, with intense harmonies that demand attention. It's clear that the band prioritizes fun above all else, aiming to get listeners dancing wildly to their music. One can only imagine the energy of their live shows, where the band's enthusiasm is sure to be contagious.

While the production may leave something to be desired for some listeners, with its trebly nature and slightly compressed sound, there's no denying the song's infectious energy. However, the track does lose momentum at times, particularly in the middle section.

Thematically, "Something of Nothing" explores the dynamics of an argument, dressed up as an 80s synth-pop banger. It's a unique take on the genre, adding depth to the song's infectious hooks and catchy melodies. Despite its flaws, the track shines with cool synth ideas and a captivating energy that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

In essence, "Something of Nothing" is a testament to Talk In Code's ability to blend nostalgia with modern pop sensibilities, creating a song that is both fun and thought-provoking. While it may not be perfect, it's a sparkling addition to the indie pop landscape.

“All Born Screaming” - St. Vincent: St. Vincent is Thinking About Death, and She Wants You to Know It

All Born Screaming showcases Clark’s pitch-perfect rock and roll sensibilities, bringing her expert guitar playing back to the forefront after 2021’s 70s-inspired diversion, Daddy’s Home. Whereas the sonics mark a return to form, All Born Screaming’s platitudes about death and revolution fall too short to leave any lasting impression, beyond a handful of catchy hooks and some half-baked, moody concepts.

‘Mr. Liar’ by Tende Kasha - Catchy Reggae With Origins in Angola, Portugal, and Australia

There’s something about candid, straightforward honesty in lyrics that can cut deeper than overly abstract metaphors and symoblism and “what did they mean by that?” ‘Mr. Liar’ is a track that isn’t trying to dress anything up. The listener knows exactly what the singer is going through - it hits.

The most interesting part about this track, though, is the artist behind it. Check out Tende Kasha’s biography:
