The track is the first release of 2020 from the Boston outfit.
The way that COWBOY BOY like to stylise their work in upper case gives you a well enough idea of what to expect from them. Their brash and upbeat brand of power-pop serves as a loud and unapologetic form of artful expression.
Latest single ‘PET’ is further proof of this, from its offset you are immediately thrust into the emotive and frenetic track, no introductions needed. Thematically the track deals with themes such as ghosting and rejection and faltered expectations, but musically the high-energy and fast-paced nature of the track ensures that the ride is as fun and chaotic as it is thought-provoking and introspective.
‘PET’ is a glittery and rampant, anxious and sad song, and as juxtaposed as those ideas sound, the end result feels surprisingly familiar and warm.
