Regular readers may recall a lively and eclectic tune we featured earlier this year called Fire It Up. Courtesy of Brooklyn-based rock collective Metagirl & the Earth Passengers, it marked the project's sophomore single - and I've been eagerly awaiting the next chapter in their sonic evolution.
Enter XO, the new, energetic, punk-leaning track that immediately proves the wait was more than worth it. A gritty, crunchy, and high-octane piece of music, XO is a heavy-hitting love letter about being smitten, impatient, and completely consumed.
"XO is about the thrill of almost," says the outfit's frontwoman Erica Rowell. "Everyone knows that moment when you're smitten and waiting for the other person to catch up."
Working, once again, with multi-platinum Grammy winner Andros Rodriguez, Metagirl & the Earth Passengers are proving to be one of Brooklyn's most exciting acts to watch.
As they gear up for the release of Trying to Chalk the Sun, their debut EP, the band's three singles to date set a dangerously high bar. My belief, however, is that they've got plenty left in the tank!
Bring on Trying to Chalk the Sun! I'm ready to hear more. And I'm absolutely certain this EP is going to deliver massively!
