It’s not every day you come across a song that sounds like a fusion of diverse genres, yet that’s precisely what XO Armor’s lead single, “Nublar,” sounds like. One could describe it as a blend of pop and rock with a hint of rap, yet it’s much more than just that. The dreamy guitar riffs and 808 bass lines are not to be overlooked, as they establish the song’s groovy, laid-back vibe. As the song progresses, the singing rap vocals ease the listener into a trance-like state, immersing them in an ethereal soundscape that feels like a cloudy island. And then, just like that, thunder strikes in the bridge, taking the song to a whole new level.
