literally/nobody - "in reverse"

literally/nobody is a Boston four piece that, according to their press release, "... interweaves shoegaze, dream-pop and post-hardcore." Their latest single, "in reverse," is as jangly as it is buzzy. It's a poppy and noisy track that demands that a listener at least bop around a little bit throughout it's entire three and a half minute length. Despite having an intimate indie feel, the song also feels like an epic in scope, making it both twee and gigantic. I believe "in reverse" is literally/nobody's debut single, and if so, this is an amazing introduction to a band we can't wait to hear more from.

Spender Gusha (vocals/guitar) says of the band's latest single:

“The song loosely hints at a secret guilty desire to see the apocalypse unfold. Despite the differences people have between each other we all have the same fate. It’s all a game we play that nobody wins. The song is about my personal nihilism towards existence and the world we live in."

You can listen to "in reverse" below. The song is available now via Bandcamp. For more on literally/nobody, check out the band on Instagram.
