TTNG - Juggling Moves (Beginner)

Sargent House's New TTNG Hits Different As There's Just Something About An Original Like, Thank God these guitars aren't any bigger, because them punches be landing heavy, boys.

01 — Goose Steppin'

The verdict: tiny arms. Big riffs.

Goose Steppin' 05:02 opens The Release with distinctly Unmissable TTNG Charm, showcasing its trademark noodlesque finger porn with a nostalgic Animals meets 13.0.0.0. tone which makes complexity feel like memory. After giving the listener exactly what they crave, the song reaches a turning point early on, with unforeseen strumming dominance and heavy low-shelf atmospherics. This contrasts the opening vibes, creating inner uncertainty. As time is given for development, many more strums introduce themselves, syncopating with the drums, which hit more and more of the phrasing until one truly concrete sonic weapon remains. For real man, thank God these guns aren't any bigger 'cause them punches be landing heavy, boys. At 2:34, Henry's writing persona seemingly takes over as a more lush and slow-moving delivery of riffs cascade forward while seemingly leaping from being held back each beat; the pocket gets deep and builds off what was previously accomplished until seemingly making it back to natural time and an aperture for noodles, which come right on time and then are retracted right back with poised reservation. All of a sudden, a turnaround enters us back into TTNG guitar tornado-like chaos, closing the song at its peak. Every repetition arrives slightly altered, like the song has developed a personality problem. The peak moment, it's closing, coming on like walking into a room draped with plastic on the floor, as though it ever was, TTNG time and time again have blood on their hands for killing emo.

02 — Adieu

The verdict: TTNG discovered patience and immediately made it sound sexy.

Adieu 04:22 gets into a slacker pop tuning and attitude meets 50s rock swagger; this pocket hits different and hasn't really been seen by TTNG thus far. A little placebo, a lot British; the track stands anew in the TTNG catalog. The next riff is Henry in nature, with those opened more spacious odd meters vs x:16 dizzying acrobatics, but carries the waves' mathematics. The cut also collects power from its foundation of more harmonized layering vs cross patternization and over colorization. Instead, shade is deeply and elegantly explored. This makes the busier sections more satisfying from the ear wanting them and being forced to wait, making the old new and new old as it proves patience, actually a virtue. The noodles are some of the best from any song in the scene, both old and new. Some bands write riffs. TTNG apparently manufacture small-scale natural disasters from astro turfing the atmosphere. The arrangement behaves like it's déjà vu syndrome with extra surprises as one is almost remembering a song that hasn't happened yet.

03 — For So Long, No Longer

The verdict: Japanese post-rock production crawled into a math-rock band and refused to leave.

For So Long, No Longer 05:30 opens with all members blazing with their now-known and beloved characters and sonic tendencies. One can hear left-aligned as if in another dimension where it's laid back and in an alternate tuning ala Brennan Peirson. Everything is more from the lens of Japanese post-rock production and disregards all rules, throwing 90s shoegaze and grunge fuzzing elements that color splatters all over the sonic walls. Warm and blanket-like, this almost biomechanical overlaying of tones makes the listener forget themselves for a second and really focus on the musical journey. TTNG continue their ongoing research into the exact point where groove becomes structural engineering, and this is essentially a peer-reviewed study on how many times a guitar can dodge the downbeat before the listener develops trust issues.

Stu fans must be stoked as his return makes the band whole once more, and for those who joined the party late with Henry as lead, the harmonies will please you as well. Three songs in, the pattern is becoming clear. TTNG are still those boys we love: tiny arms, big riffs, button shirts, and somehow four different songs crammed into one.
