Work Drugs :: "Rad Racer"

Riding the last crest of the chillwave movement, Work Drugs have a collection of three singles that manage to survive the redundancy of such quickly shifting critical groupings. By next year, everyone will be into something else and, my sense is Work Drugs won't care. On "Rad Racer" they divine their best chorus to date, evoking the material metaphor of driving through some persuasively neon urban nightscape. The vocals are candid and hushed, like this highlighter secret, bright and fuzzy, lost and not terribly upset about it.
