Alt-rock act The Open Flames unveils alluring offering “Drop A Coin,” weaving a dark pop groove through haunting crescendos for a catchy and distorted sonic experience.
Led by restrained yet intense storytelling, the track makes for a cinematic and addictive anthem. Speaking of the track, singer/guitarist Dave Eastman says, “We wrote the song with the metaphor of paying a tithe to a blind girl sitting at the Gates of Hell to describe the hesitation before knocking on the door of your prom date, or a wedding chapel. It was inspired by the final moments of Ian Curtis of Joy Division before he passed into another life. The song's second half passes through the Gate to fly over a tormented landscape of Dante-esque souls who rise up howling from the fires and boiling muds of Hell.”
A hypnotic showcase of pop power, the track continues to hone in on the band’s rugged yet polished musicality that sees them evolve and soar higher.
