Bad routine is The Gilhoolys’ Single Out Now
The guitars slice through the mix with a crystalline tone, each chord ringing out like a clean blade through the air.
They stretch into long, sustained shapes that add a hint of the ethereal, creating a sense of suspended energy rather than outright aggression. It’s a clever approach—sharp without being harsh, melodic without softening the drive.
The vocals arrive with a cutting, high-toned delivery that stands firmly above the instrumental layers. There’s clarity in their presence, and they carry an urgency that fits the restless spirit of the track. The real shift comes with the chorus: lush keys pour in, instantly broadening the mix. Their retro shimmer injects a touch of vintage charm, giving the section a cinematic lift. The melody blossoms as the arrangement swells, then recedes again for the verses, creating a dynamic tension that pulls the listener along.
This rise-and-fall structure gives “Bad Routine” its addictive momentum. It constantly feels like it’s exhaling and inhaling, balancing release with restraint. The bridge adds another layer of intrigue without breaking the song’s cohesion. Instead of a traditional guitar solo, there’s a subtle riff-based passage—more like a sidestep than a detour—that injects movement while preserving the intensity. It’s understated, yet it enriches the overall arc.
What makes the track stand out is its balance of precision and spirit. Every part feels intentional, but nothing sounds overthought. The interplay between clean guitar textures, soaring keys, and tight rhythmic shifts creates a song that feels modern and timeless. It’s rock with polish, but also with heart.
