13AGH3AD, “Spinner”

13AGH3AD’s “Spinner” is a song that would shine under a blacklight. This might be easy to assume given the single’s kaleidoscopic cover art, but from its opening reverb the song is inviting you to invert your expectations and succumb to its hypnotic groove. Swirling guitar licks leave psychedelic fingerprints on the group’s grunge-y sound, and the rattle of surf rock drums practically begs for a dark and smoky room to get lost in. It’s a heady combination, fueled by chant-like vocals and a prog-rock bridge that dilates the beat to its breaking point before snapping back for a sharp exit.
