A year on from White Peaks’ last release and the Brighton-based project of Matt Carrington returns with a visceral alt-pop tune ‘Good Thing Gone’. Dealing with the high and lows, the positives and negatives, the shortcuts and obstacles of our modern, technology-obsessed society, Carrington has written and self-produced this complex piece of pop with its whirlwind of a chorus. The sonic landscape is overtly electronic, with lapping waves of crisp beats, sweeping synths, a cinematic electronic guitar licks, plus a pulsating rhythm with those almighty hooks. At the heart of this digital world is Carrington, whose desperate expression “good thing gone” repeatedly attempts to break through, trying to make a human connection. With more singles on the way, ‘Good Things Gone’ in an unmissable restart from White Peaks. - HT
