Everything about Back To You should be anxiety-inducing – the lyrics, “Somebody out there is doin’ better than me”, the rushed three-note riff and its audible glisten on the strings. But everything about Back To You feels so good. It’s heartfelt pop, indicating that just-released EP Underlay’s rawnessmight’ve been a ploy for misdirection, or at least a divergent creative outlet in the lead-up to album number two. Its palpable charm commands repeat listens, soaring with an incredible, resonant chorus. LP two Range Anxiety is out early next year, and if Back To You is any indication, we’re in for a treat.
