I really am a sucker for harmonies. If your voices blend beautifully, you’re halfway towards winning me over. So I’m head over heels for “Genevieve,” the latest track from The Inadequates who show with this release that they are anything but.
With the lush harmonies and intricate guitars, it reminds me a little of something Taxiride might have included on one of their albums back in the day. It’s easy to get swept up in the romance of the sound, but tap into the lyrics and you’ll soon realise it’s a bittersweet breakup song.
“Genevieve” comes from The Inadequates’ debut album Haven’t You Heard, which drops on August 28. They’ll support its release with the following shows:
