New Year’s Eve WIP y’all:

Steve was being pressed in on every side. He hadn’t told anyone where he was going to be, not even Nancy. He’d just mentioned that he was going to make some stops on his way back from Boston, take in the sights of the coast. Robin had seen right through him.

“Eddie will be playing at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut on New Year's Eve. 112 Avenue A, at 7th Street.”

“How do you know I’m even going to be in New York?”

“Because I know you, my sweet queer baby. Go. Get your man.”

So here he was. The venue couldn’t have a capacity larger than 50, but people were on each other's shoulders, squeezed in wall-to-wall, chest-to-back, legs between legs, drinks held high to prevent spilling.

Steve tried to push through, but it was too crowded. All he could do was stand and watch Eddie being transcendent on the stage.

Eddie was coated in glitter, it was in his hair, across his bare shoulders, dripping off of him as he sweat. He looked immortal. Henry Creel had wanted to stop time, but he’d never come as close as Eddie was right here, eternally caught in the blue light of King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut.

Review: The Exhales newest single ‘kick the chair’ embodies warm, catchy indie-rock with a deeply meaningful message on suicide awareness

Since their musical beginnings in 2021, the upcoming indie and alt-rockers The Exhales found themselves quickly carving a name for themselves in the Scottish alternative landscape, marking their explosive entrance with a sold-out show at the storied 'King Tuts Wah Wah Hut' in early 2022. It’s not hard to see why they were so well-loved from the get-go either, with their sound carrying through it bombastic ambition, rich instruments, powerful vocals and lyricism laced in so much personal thought. With two impressive singles under their belt, the group have set off 2024 with a release that reinforces why this four piece are going to go far.

With a title like ‘kick the chair’, you kind of know what you’re getting yourself in for right from pressing play on The Exhales newest single, carrying through it a message that’s hard to stomach but eased by a sound that’s warm and comforting like a good friend in a time of need. From the steady, slightly fast-moving drums that open up the soundscape, to the slowly added rich bass twangs and guitar strums both acoustic and electric, you’ll find yourself whisked up by instruments that land somewhere between bold and loud, as well as intimate and personal. Perhaps that’s why when the vocals hit you feel right at home, coaxed in by their ability to mould together two contrasting senses with one experience made to pull at your own heart strings and experiences. The verse is lifted by this shift too, summoning a change with a backing riff and warmth seeping through their every word, a smoothly charismatic and emotionally charged vocal delivery wrapped into one performance you can’t help but want to sing along to from first listen.

The pre-chorus is unsuspecting, mostly blending in with the already tumbling sound, only quite noticeable in the way their vocalist’s words spew a little bit quicker, and the new ambient tones that whir behind the most poignant line of them all: ‘one good friend took the pills they gave, and one drove his car off the edge of a mountain, the other just kicked that chair.’ It’s hard not to feel breathless in the aftermath of hearing that, a sudden reality check from the opening’s setting of the scene: ‘such a beautiful place to raise the kids out of.’ In these moments you really start to get it, their narrative seeping through as The Exhales acknowledge the way that stagnant small towns can feel utterly isolating, with kids growing older only to feel trapped and distant from the world. From the way it jumps in with a witty sales pitch, to the twisting and distortion that shines through as they reveal the unseen reality, ‘kick the chair’ really proves that The Exhales have carefully crafted an approach you can’t help but feel in your bones.

The track begins to pick up after this with its first short initial chorus, rising through thundering drums, blaring electric guitar and clashing cymbals on the line: ‘don’t make me do this on my own, it’s not that easy.’ This held-back approach only makes it harder hitting when it all switches up the next time around, their protagonist asking: ‘should I just take those pills they gave me, or drive my car into their building? Should I kick the chair?’ As things hit close to home, the chorus finds itself at its loudest and longest yet, running through heavy-handed drum beats, brazen guitar and vocals that soar through highs and lows with a richness to every single emotionally lingering word. The sheer number of these losses is staggering in itself too, once again acknowledged when they add the line ‘it’s not so easy to mourn when you watch a kid buried over and over again’, a heartbreaking slither of grief.

While The Exhales champion a sound that feels modern and youthful the whole way through ‘kick the chair’, their entire delivery and lyrical talent carries soul well beyond their years, poetically expressing one of the most heart-wrenching experiences anyone could ever live through. As their lines like ‘now I’m sick to death of arranging flowers… and who’re they really for?’ will find themselves engrained in your mind for a long time to come, we encourage you listen deeply to the song for yourself here, as The Exhales music is not just made to be heard but to be felt, lived and remembered for a long time to come.
