A terrible date at some fishy dive bar? That’s prime material for indie rock gold, and GOOD GRIEF absolutely nailed it with their debut single “Bait Shop.”
This duo’s origin story is pretty unique—they actually connected through a virtual grief support group. Their sound perfectly captures that weird balance between infectious energy and raw, unfiltered honesty.
The chorus hits different with its layered vocals chanting: “Don’t feel I’m supposed to, at the bait shop late at night.” It’s anthemic in the best way possible.
But there’s serious depth here too. The heavier instrumental sections showcase intricate guitar work that weaves through driving drum patterns, creating this immersive groove that pulls you in completely.
Don’t let the seemingly effortless production fool you—there’s incredible complexity layered throughout this track. It definitely deserves multiple spins to catch all the nuances.
Seattle’s queer indie scene has something special brewing with GOOD GRIEF. If exploring grief’s intricate emotional landscape through music sounds appealing, keep your eyes peeled for what’s coming next from this talented pair.
