Similar From Push Puppets Is A New Found Classic On Its First Fieldtrip But Not The Last

Push Puppets

Chicago 
 
Sitting snuggly in the cerebral space between reflective rumination and communal upbeat atmosphere, the Chicago-based Push Puppets are bracing the world for their latest album release. They release albums to be enjoyed, like any decent AOR band, yet always have a few key moments worth elevating to the mainwaves. Tethered Together, featuring a shark and a little yellow fish, is making its splash on Friday 16th with Similar showing up like a fin breaking the surface. Known for making Deja Vu style sounds, that you feel you already know but can tell it’s totally original, the skill is in knowing the theory and knowing how to use it. What is Similar going to be Similar to? Everything and nothing, would be my guess. Let’s find out.  
 
The song bursts open with a surge of guitar, bass, and drums. The wall of sound style makes full use of the harmony and drive as the verse feels like a continuation of the tone. Lyrics offer a descriptive and emotive drama, and with the same linking quality of story-telling craft, the chorus opens out as the music reveals petals and radiance. It all feels like a dream as the song evolves and changes from motif to melody through a choppy roll of drumming pressure that never ceases. Keyboards and guitars rumble onward through changing fields of colourful crops and bountiful orchards, all while the wide-open skies create ever further horizons of imagination. It sounds just the Push Puppets, if you ask me.
