If you still carry the memories of a warped tour wristband and pages filled with heartfelt lyrics from the early 2000s, then Moving in Slow has a new song for you. Their latest single, "Call a Doctor," isn't just music, it's a cry for help wrapped in an upbeat emo-pop tune.
The song begins softly, like a secret being shared. You hear gentle acoustic guitar strumming, almost as if the singer is inviting you to come closer. Frontman Laurent Chavannes sings with honesty, revealing his struggles to keep it together as he battles feelings of unhappiness. This song isn't about dramatics, it's about real survival and openness. But when you think you've settled into that quiet sadness, the song takes a dramatic turn. About halfway through, it bursts open with powerful rhythms, intense guitars, and vocals that are filled with emotion. This shift perfectly captures how anxiety can build up until it explodes. The way the music is produced enhances the story being told, it's not just background noise, it's part of the message.
What makes this track stand out compared to your old high school heartbreak playlists is its straightforwardness. Chavannes isn't just reminiscing, he's expressing his own experiences and feelings that resonate with today's listeners. While you can still hear hints of the early 2000s pop punk sound, Moving in Slow delves deeper into themes of mental health and emotional fatigue, making it a relevant and impactful work in today's world.
