Interlay, based in Madison, Wisconsin, return with Medic, their latest single, a quite punchy and powerful track. The song explores themes of confusion, disorientation, and inner turmoil, expressing a profound struggle with mental and emotional challenges as well as a quest to find meaning and relief. Melodic guitar lines and a steady rhythm section combine to create a dense wall of sound.
Medic creates a dynamic and intensely emotional composition by expertly combining grunge and heavy shoegaze influences. Eklund's vocals signal a moving moment as the song enters its second act, which is marked by a slower tempo and reflects a visceral reaction similar to struggling with one's own body in the midst of an emotional gloom.
