Placebo is Poems’ Single Out Now
Good Day Noir Family,
There’s something instantly magnetic about the way Placebo opens. A steady, confident guitar strum sets the pace, grounded and assured.

Then the voice arrives—baritone, resonant, and unmistakably distinct. It doesn’t try to impress with tricks or volume; instead, it settles into the track like it belongs there, bringing with it a sense of clarity and poise.
The delivery carries shades of emotional weight, and while the tone isn’t reminiscent of David Gahan, the presence is comparable, firm, introspective, and fully in control like the Australian singer.
As we dive more into this tune, it becomes clear that Poems have crafted their sound with purpose. Every element feels intentional. The arrangement moves with grace, transitioning between sections with a natural ease that suggests countless hours spent refining each detail in the rehearsal room.
There’s a deep sense of cohesion between instruments, allowing the band to explore texture without losing direction.
The layered background vocals are a highlight—subtle yet vital. They elevate the chorus, giving the track an almost metaphysical lift, expanding the sonic space without overwhelming it.
Guitars drenched in tasteful delay offer echoes that stretch into the distance, hinting at the atmospheric style of The Edge. Yet, nothing here feels borrowed. While faint reflections of The National or Radiohead flicker through the mix, Poems sound like no one but themselves.
A band staking their ground with elegance and precision, unafraid to explore emotion and depth while staying rooted in strong songwriting.
