Full of delicious vintage goodness, The Flying Beets’ latest single is a stunning piece of simple, down to the ground alternative rock with provocative melodies and chord sequences alongside side truly brilliant drumming to keep it all together.
The Flying Beets hail from Fort Worth, Texas. A relatively fresh indie and alt rock outfit, the group got together in 2022, and their first single dropped in 2023, with their song ‘Maybe Baby’ and the video for ‘The Stupid Way You Breathe’ winning local awards. The band are enjoying a sustained bout of creativity and appreciation in the realms of indie and alternative rock, and listening to the freshness, energy, and soul on ‘Don’t Let Me Notice’ really puts this success into perspective.
The song, taking cues from classic genres such as funk, surf, and americana, sounds like an anthemic western movie soundtrack with its melodic chord sequence and vocal performance that drips with passion and soul. The riffs are jangly, and the drum part is bustling. A rather busy song, the hasty tempo is complemented by an intricate song structure that stops and starts as the song progresses, injecting the already energetic song with a fascinating flow that makes the sound feel even shorter than it already is.
‘Don’t Let Me Notice’ is simply a terrific single from The Flying Beets. You can feel the band experimenting with genres and styles and doing so with incredible confidence and efficiency. A capable outfit without a hint of doubt, ‘Don’t Let Me Notice’ is sure to put The Flying Beets actively on our indie radar.
