Mamalarky - "Won't Give Up"

Photo by Vionery

When we brought you "Anhedonia," the previous single from Mamalarky, I specifically said that it wasn't a pop song. Their latest single, "Won't Give Up," is pure pop. This might be alt-pop, indie pop, or bedroom pop, but this is solidly a pop song with shimmering instrumentation and a beat that dares you not to at least move a little. Mamalarky have long been a band that dances all across the lines between folk, pop, and indie rock, and "Won't Give Up" sees them playing in the world pop music far deeper than they typically do. This is a fun song and the kind that has us in New England even more desperate for spring to finally kick in.
