Nervous Patterns

Garage pop blends the raw, energetic attack of garage rock with bright, ear‑catching pop melodies. It favors short, hook‑heavy songs, jangly or fuzz‑kissed guitars, tambourine and handclaps, and sing‑along choruses. While the sonics are gritty and often lo‑fi, the songwriting is unabashedly tuneful—drawing on 1960s girl‑group harmonies, surf rhythms, and Brill Building craft. Lyrics tend to be direct and youthful (love, longing, summer ennui), and vocals are frequently drenched in reverb for a hazy, sun‑bleached glow.
