The Choice Doesn’t Sound Retro, Exactly, but It Does Feel Anchored

International, New Music, Track Review

There’s a very specific kind of song that announces itself as Important within the first thirty seconds; not because of anything it’s done yet, but because it arrives carrying a fully itemized list of influences, intentions, and moral positioning. THE CHOICE by Chris Oledude is absolutely one of those songs. And to be clear, that’s

“With shimmering acoustics and a throat-tearing chorus, Matt Cory delivers a masterclass in post-grunge revivalism.” You hear that driving, shimmer-soaked acoustic guitar tone and instantly know exactly what era of rock history is being resurrected.
