the IV‘s Same Old Story is a sharp, introspective track that critiques our role as consumers in an entertainment-driven culture. Through driving bass riffs, staccato drumming, and spacious guitars, the song examines modern society from the perspective of Freud’s dream-work theory. Ingvild Nærum’s carefully crafted lyrics explore the overwhelming nature of Western industrialized life, offering both critique and reflection. The track’s sound is both expansive and grounded, carried by the band’s tight performance.
Joining Nærum are Per Åsmund Reymert and Peter Hiley, who together craft a compelling and thought-provoking piece of dark indie rock.
