Scottish indie-pop band Rebel Westerns have released their exhilarating new single “Atomic Blonde”—and it’s a track that grabs your attention immediately.
“Atomic Blonde” keeps giving from the very start. The synth filled intro lets the song breathe and throughout the pop-like structure, there isn’t a dull moment. “You know that I’m no goodbye / but I can’t shake this feeling,” sings Dominic Thomson, his thought process exuding both infatuation and disloyalty.
There are certain melodies within the track that scream The 1975, but the band bring their own individuality to the music, retaining “indie pop” leanings that are far from generic. And while the band may not be on critics’ radar just yet, their potential is exploding having garnered support from Dermot O’Leary on BBC Radio 2, Amazing Radio, and Jim Gellatly. It will be interesting to see what Rebel Westerns have in store for us over the upcoming months.
Rebel Westerns’ “Atomic Blonde” is out now via Depot Records.
