‘Complicate This’ is a resonating and stirring new release from Rainbow City Park

The rising new band continue to shine on their moving fifth release

Having quickly won over listeners with their dreamy and alternative rock-edged brand of indie pop, Northern California’s Rainbow City Park have established a really rousing tendency to craft moving and nostalgic sounds that form a bridge between 90s indie rock and the introspective work of modern artists like Phoebe Bridgers and Pinegrove.

Their fifth and most recent single ‘Complicate This’ is a wonderful showcase of the deftness and charm of their sound, capturing the tension and hesitancy that comes with escalating a relationship into something that resembles dating, perfectly conveying the intricacies and thought-processes that come with such a leap. The laid-back charm of the sound melds really nicely with the more hard-edged aspects of the instrumentation, making for a memorable and diverse sound that finds the best of both worlds, feeling both stirring and impactful in the process.
