Vancouver quartet Blessed have a self-titled EP coming next month, and “Feel” portends good things for it. The song is a disjointed multi-part adventure, post-punk blown out to a prog-rock scope. Each hard-hitting, rhythmically heavy segment is topped off by jagged guitar lines and, as the band explains, some stabs at heartfelt communication:

We’ve always been a music first group of people, which is something I made the conscious decision to try and change when we formed this band. None of us are older than 25, and grew up with a lot of tongue in cheek, don’t directly speak what’s fully on your mind kinds of bands influencing us in the formative years. So I feel like I’m in this crossroads of accepting I don’t have to be snarky or witty about a subject, and can be forthright. I’ve always preferred cryptic lyrics and letting people take their own opinion from a song, But with “Feel” I was just wrestling with the idea of being honest in lyrics, and not trying to cover things in a shade of sarcasm.

Listen below along with the Purity Ring-endorsed “Waving Hand.”
