Impressive lyrically, and absolutely fantastic vocally and instrumentally also; ‘You’re Turning Into John Wayne’ is the latest single from Twin Atlantic, a track that points a finger at artists that insist in singing in an American accent, no matter where they’re from. Twin Atlantic is one band that definitely doesn’t cave in to the Americanisation of culture, and lead vocalist Sam McTrusty here sings loud and proud in his native Scottish accent.
This is a very intelligent piece of music from Twin Atlantic, and the track as a whole has been incredibly well thought out and composed. The guitar sound is strong, and vocally also the music here really does hit hard. You get the sense here that Americanisation truly is something that bothers Sam McTrusty; he means every word that he sings out throughout the track, and ‘You’re Turning Into John Wayne’ is therefore all the more effective as a result.
‘You’re Turning Into John Wayne’ truly is an absolutely brilliant single from Twin Atlantic, and with the band’s ‘Vivarium’ mini-album due for release on September 14th; it’ll certainly be interesting to hear what the band can offer with the eight-track release.
Twin Atlantic’s ‘You’re Turning Into John Wayne’ is a track that I 100% recommend listening to, and if you do decide to give the track a whirl then you’ll surely not be left at all disappointed.
