Why do we like this?

"Living In A Shrinking Hell" by Mile Me Deaf amalgamates all of our favorite surf rock tropes. Singing about a despondent, inescapable nihilism? Check. Lackadaisical vocals that contemplate the merits of energy? Check. A melody that could soundtrack any summer adventure? Check. 

The shoegaze-influenced interludes are notable here -- they make the sound feel both more complex and more permanent. This song doesn't get boring or repetitious; it's smart and captivating while still not trying too hard. This might be the paradox Mile Me Deaf faces as its sound sharpens: how to strike that delicate balance between caring... and, well, not.

Fans of Wavves will want to dive into this ASAP!
