Later Than You Think is an action-packed indie alt rock song. It is the second song in the DOOM EP, alongside We’re Doomed, Get Your Coat, and So Long. Hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina, Goddamn Wolves is the premiere indie rock trio taking influences from classic alternative rock bands such as Pixes and New Pornographers. Their latest release features a four-track EP filled with many amazing songs that capture the essence of underground rock.
The track begins with a bang, playing loud rhythms, bass, and percussion. Drew Foglia is behind the infectious drumming and the backbone for the band’s progression. Moving forward, Laura McCullough stars as the melodic vocals, backed up by Chris Weilding in a male/female vocal harmony. The band innovates in its unique sound, creating moments such as instrumental breaks before the first hook, creating catchy tunes with contrasting unnerving sounds. Goddamn Wolves can make a complete sound without using many instruments, featuring simple distorted and grungy electric guitars, bass, and the inventive drums. Combining these instruments brings forth memorable riffs and satisfying moments during climactic hooks. The vocals blend seamlessly with the instruments, forming an intricate soundscape pleasing for listeners. The track then ends abruptly, leaving a lasting impression. The DOOM EP was created with the dread uncertainty of Americans in mind, allowing the band to be creative with their theme and lyrics.
