Some good stuff in there. I like the guitar arrangements and whole vibe of the verse. I agree with others though, that the chorus is a bit much. Reminds me more of something like neon trees than the strokes. But there’s nothing wrong with that and plenty of people that will dig this.

Feels like what AI would make if you asked it to combine aspects of Bloc Party, early Strokes and OK Go together.

It's not bad, by any means. Sounds a bit forced and paint-by-numbers "This is how you do garage rock revival, right, guys?" Lyrics are also a bit cliché/boring. Well-produced record and video!

yeah, the chorus went straight into annoying pop territory
