HEAR ME OUT Leans Into the Ebb and Flow of Powerful Feelings While Processing the Experience of Abuse on Post-punk Song “Meaning Less”

HEAR ME OUT delves into a complex emotional space on “Meaning Less.” Its gentle guitar work, often like glimmerings of tone on the edge of the song, spare but strong percussion propels the song along as the vocals shift from introspective tones to a swell of emotion like you might when thinking back to the ways you’ve been treated and mistreated as suggested in the song where it sounds like someone who was used and abused for their body with their humanity discarded and the way that experience can stick with you even after you revisit it in your mind, even if you write a song or make a creative work with that energy behind it and informing its creation. But this song that seems equal parts post-punk and indiepop feels like a moving through those feelings to the other side of personal grief. Its blend of tenderness and intensity is reminiscent of the likes of Porridge Radio and leaves one feeling exultant in the moment rather than defeated.
