Backed by Tucker’s whispery harmonies and layered over drums reminiscent of a heartbeat, it feels like the pair is guiding you through a dark, unexplored fantasy land. Then Tividad’s vocals drift in, simple and beautiful in their waif-like falsetto. The song opens with an 80s-style organ synth that hooks you immediately in a kind of sonic nostalgia. The indie duo, Cleo Tucker and Harmony Tividad, made the song while living apart, forcing them to change the way they write, record and arrange and igniting a maturity in their sound unlike anything we’ve heard before. The title track on Girlpool’s newest album, “What Chaos is Imaginary,” is a moody and sweeping exploration of uncertainty. "Go To Her" is Donovan Woods at his finest - while unsure of himself and his wants, there is a confidence in his sound, a sense that when it comes to who he is as a musician there is little left to question. Musically the other star of this song are the strings that continually wax through, filling it with even more emotion and longing. Wood's voice is warm and comforting even in the midst of an almost lament. Her actions that didn't make sense to the him and the "good mistakes" that he's made all led to a something that is now fragile and broken. Questions and feelings are still left unsettled within the ending of this relationship, making it harder to move on. Still, the reminiscing would not be complete without also remembering what went wrong. In "Go To Her," Woods sings out his anxious thoughts and attempts to coax himself into reconciliation with another. With last year's release of his note-worthy album Both Ways, Nashville/Toronto singer-songwriter Donovan Woodscontinues to put out music with the same intrinsic quality as the hit record.

In a press release, Lloyd explains the feeling of limbo that the song highlights, “ is about considering a relationship from long ago-remembering how we were so in love, and that person was everything to us, only now when we think about that one time.was that moment them?” Or was it not? It’s also completely club-ready with Lloyd’s signature 808-inspired beats and vocal chops that keep a hypnotic groove while Gongol’s vocal is spotlighted for its lush sensuality. Complete with Samantha Gongol’s sultry, emotive vocal and Jeremy Lloyd’s minimalistic production, this song takes just the right amount of space to reflect upon a past relationship with its moodiness.

Was what happened in the past really as it seems or, as Marian Hillappropriately titles their new single, “was it not”? The fiery, dark-pop duo, who have championed their brand of sparse, heavy-hitting production and indulgent songwriting continue to do what they do best on this new track. The reality is that memories stay with you, but after a while, they tend to mix in with new moments and take on new shapes. There’s a difference between moving on and moving forward.
