Persistent earworm alert CDXXIX

After seeing a strong live performance of it on "Saturday Night Live UK," Wolf Alice's "White Horses" has grown on me for three reasons:

  • Rhythmically, it has a strong, driving energy reminiscent of various bands from the '90s.
  • Having four vocalists reinforces the conviction of the lyrics.  Speaking of which...
  • ...Lyrically, this is an impressive tribute to one's heritage, even when you're not sure of its components, and everyone in your life who means something to you.
I regret not knowing of this tune when it was released last year, but I've been making up for lost time in recent days.
