Alt-Rock/Review "Drop A Coin" by The Open Flames

"Drop a Coin" by The Open Flames brings a cinematic flair to London's music scene that's hard to ignore. This intriguing band unites talents from Sleepy Kitty, Harvey Danger (the minds behind the "Peep Show" theme song), and London's own Say Yes, Do Nothing. Their blend of pop noir grooves and choral crescendos adds a fresh depth to alt-rock that immediately grabs your attention.

The song drew me in with its catchy instrumental intro, setting a moody atmosphere that's both haunting and inviting. Laid back vocals weave through a strong melody, and the "ba pa ba pa" harmonies add a memorable touch that lingered with me long after listening. The ad-libs at the end are reminiscent of the bridge from a song called, “Beauty Contest” by No Doubt. It added a haunting vibe which I absolutely loved.

What truly stands out is how "Drop a Coin" builds organically, much like a well-told story, pulling you deeper into its emotional core. If you're searching for a track that combines memorable hooks with a touch of noir sophistication, this song is definitely worth your time. The Open Flames have crafted something that invites repeated listens, revealing new nuances with each play. Overall, the melodies are solid and the song is solid.
