Four years after the release of their first full-length album, Social Gravy returns with their new single, “Lone Wolf”. Drawing on rock influences from The Black Keys, Soundgarden, and Aerosmith, the song is a harmonization of trademark riffs that lasts just over two minutes. It encapsulates and stunningly represents the duo’s style that surely appeals to a wide range of listeners.
It may be surprising and pleasing to know that from the very first note you hear in “Lone Wolf”, you are compelled to listen by the sheer strength of the description. There is a good guitar hook that drives the rhythm, making Brad Kohn’s vocal performance smoothly accessible. His voice carries a flood of emotions ranging from fragility to determination – precisely what the song, which is filled with feelings, calls for. One of the best lines from the song “It’s a long way just to love you, short shot to the moon”, is beautiful yet simple, demonstrating the struggle of emotional barriers in the quest for liberty. What stands out in “Lone Wolf” is the fact that it manages to capture a lot of detail in a very short duration of time. There is a pace in the song that becomes quite addictive, and the next minute, you are struggling to press the replay button. This is music that works best in its ease — each note, every beat, and even every word seems necessary, so there is no room for extra.
Social Gravy’s willingness to make a comeback with such an upbeat track after four years away from the scene speaks volumes about the level of professional integrity they have invested in their work. After all, “Lone Wolf” is a teaser of what’s to come from the band as they have made plans for the inclusion of more singles and an EP as well. If you are looking for some solid emotions behind a rock, then tune in to “Lone Wolf”. It is worth taking space in your music library. It is out now on all the popular streaming services.
