Manchester-based Big Society continues to impress with “A Quick One, While We’re Waiting,” the title track from their latest EP. The song opens with swirling synths, giving way to a gentle acoustic guitar that sets the mood for a slow-building, melancholic journey. The vocals are warm and understated, adding a passionate yet restrained touch to the track.
Layered sounds and a subtle progression bring a dreamlike quality to the song, which evolves into a slow, swaggering groove with the introduction of drums and a grumbling guitar. With its 90s vibe and sparse vocals, the song feels more like an atmospheric soundscape—a strong addition to the band’s catalog.
