The Sweeping Momentum of “Far Behind” by Sub Cultures is Like a Hurried Yet Wistful Goodbye From Life in a Dead End Town

You can hear the echoes of the breezy, emotive melodies of the likes of Sarah Records bands or Veronica Falls and Beach Fossils in “Far Behind” by Sub Cultures. The simple yet intricate guitar lead transitions seamlessly into impressionistic rhythmic passages and back again. The captivating vocals evoke a sense of renewed hope in the wake of feeling like you might be trapped by life circumstances for the rest of your life like many of us seem to if not prodded by friends or family or events beyond our control. There is a touch of regret in the song even though it has great forward momentum like you’re taking a quick glance back at a life that felt like the whole world as you’re about to exit it for something better or at least different.
