Song Review: The Avett Brothers - āAināt No Manā
Propelled by a fat bassline, a bit of bass drum and ample foot stomps and handclaps, the Avett Brothersā latest single is anthemic but derivative.
Immediately catchy and infectious, āAināt No Manā also a grows quickly stale with repeated listens.
Taking obvious inspiration from Queenās āWe Will Rock Youā and paying a bit of homage to the Wood Brothers, āAināt No Manā is destined to become an in-concert singalong as the band employs gospel-style vocals to reinforce the uplifting lyrics.
You gotta serve something, aināt that right?/I know it gets dark, but thereās always the light/you donāt have to buy in to get into the club/trade your worries/you gotta show up if you wanna be seen/if it matters to you, it matters to me/Iām gonna fall hard, yeah I know I am/when the clouds crack up, Iāll laugh with them
Enjoy it before radio ruins it.
āAināt No Manā appears on True Sadness, due July 24.
