Atomic Bronco – Get You Off My Mind (2022)
Atomic Bronco left us a little weak at the knees with the soul-stirring ‘Cruel’ which was part of his successful EP Spectrum. Now, he is following up on this success with ‘Get You Off My Mind’ which dives into the feeling of yearning for something that you know is bad for you. Bringing a helpless feeling to the single, the driving bass and punchy drums are a delightful contrast to the understated vocals.
In your face and raw, yet energetic and intimate, the single highlights the sheer musical prowess of Atomic Bronco. His signature rough edges leave a searing mark on your soul as he perfectly captures the balance of being unable to resist something bad for you, while being fully aware that you should. This one-man band is taking his guitar-driven music to a new level through this track and creating a whole new engaging listening experience.
The driving guitar line that fills the middle levels of ‘Get You Off My Mind’ sinks its hooks into your brain from the first note. There is a dark feeling to the melody that crooks a finger at you and beckons you into the shadowy underworld of temptation. While you know that you shouldn’t follow this siren’s call, you are really unable to. This undeniable draw leads you into the chorus that brings a touch of retro electronic tones. This is tempered by a soar of the guitar that brings the high of giving into temptation and embracing all those things that you know you shouldn’t. Through all of this, that initial darkness remains hanging over every interaction between the instrumentation. The soaring frenzy of emotions hits you in the chest when the guitar solo slices through the soundscape, only to vibrate into the darkness of the punch drums.
As the melody leads you down the path of temptation, Atomic Bronco’s seductive vocals curl around you with a sense of awareness. Through the lyrics, he highlights the knowledge and understanding of the temptation you face. He is fully aware of the power this bad thing has over him which leads to a plea to get rid of the draw it has on the chorus. It is a slow descent into darkness through the vocals which is a great contrast to the melody which is a blissful freefall into temptation. The chorus is really catchy as he looks to get someone who is bad for him off his mind, but teases the knowledge that this might not be possible.
Balancing a blissful slide into temptation with the urge to resist, Atomic Bronco unleashes a siren’s call of a single in ‘Get You Off My Mind’. The melody merrily leads you into the dark shadows of temptation with a movement that you can’t resist. His vocals bring their own level of seduction while trying to resist and get a bad habit or toxic person off his mind.
