Averkiou - Wasted And High No Ones Holding A Gun To Your Head

Review by Merritt Olson

Averkiou's latest album, Wasted And High No Ones Holding A Gun To Your Head, is a refreshing and dynamic addition to the indie rock scene. The album's sound is characterized by a mix of dreamy pop melodies, driving guitar riffs, and introspective lyrics.

The album's opener, "I'm So Tired," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its hazy vocals and catchy chorus. "The New Imperative" showcases Averkiou's talent for creating intricate guitar lines that weave in and out of the song's driving rhythm.

The album's standout track, "Heartbeats," is a melancholic ballad that highlights Averkiou's emotive vocals and the band's ability to create a lush sonic landscape. "The Last Song" is a fitting closer to the album, with its contemplative lyrics and haunting melody.
