I felt that Black Country, New Road’s debut didn’t see the band exploiting their full potential; sometimes holding back when they could go even grander.
If this single represents what their sophomore album is shaping up to sound like, this could be BCNR at their most musically daring yet, and closest to tapping into their full potential.
This is exactly what I wanted. I felt like FTFT was quite great but it often stayed in its own sound that I wasn’t as big on as others, harming its replay value for me as time goes on. But this new single SCHLAPS and is quite different from their other stuff. Good shit.

Como primer adelanto, el grupo nos entrega una maravillosa pieza de Art Rock en la que nos cuentan sobre una aventura espacial usando un Progressive Pop de fondo, en el que mezclan una enérgica y maravillosa combinación de Chamber Pop y Piano Rock que destaca su lado más pasional y fantasioso.
Excelente instrumentação, excelentes transições, performance vocal satisfatória. Tudo é muito bem orquestrado, muito bem conectado e a progressão da música é bastante interessante e te mantem interessado, embora pra mim tenha levado alguns listens pra me acostumar com as transições surpresa.
