‘Open Wide,’ the lead single from The Altered Hours’ upcoming EP ‘On My Tongue’ is a hypnotic mid-pace groove built around a nagging bass. It’s got reverby guitars that bend and slide all over it, conjuring a rich atmosphere. Best of all, it’s one of those songs that builds and builds, and condenses all the epic into just three and a half minutes.
The guitars, stealthy synths and vocals layer up and by the end you’re sitting wondering where precisely how you got from there to here.
