Trickshooter Social Club’s latest single ‘Television’ is bound to end the year as one of its sweetest and most memorable eclectic blends of alternative pop, folk, and country. A song with miles of character by a deeply charismatic outfit.
Chicago-based Trickshooter Social Club is a four-piece outfit with eccentric musical tendencies to fuse fuzzy, garage rock with an assortment of different colors and flavors. On their latest single ‘Television’, written in response to the passing of a band member’s father, is a heartfelt meditation on the fragility of the fleeting moments that form a life. The song is fittingly bittersweet with a touching chord sequence and a bustling, piano-led arrangement.
The song features a wealth of instrumental layers that makes it akin to a sobered-up Brian Jonestown Massacre alternative anthem. Layers of overdriven guitars strumming along in the ether, a solid backbone of a beat, leagues of ornamental harmonica and piano leads, and an easygoing, gentle character all make ‘Television’ an immediately heartwarming offering from Trickshooter Social Club.
A capable group of musicians, the guys from Trickshooter Social Club stun us once again with a gentle and well-balanced offering that’s profoundly touching. A reliable outfit whose lyrical and instrumental arrangements are often lush and busy, but never messy, and ‘Television’ readily follows the same formula.
