Thurtythree’s new single, “Control,” is wrapped in raw emotion and a soundtrack for anyone who has ever struggled with the chaos of losing their grounding in life. With their trademark combination of haunting melodies and lyricism, this fast-rising alternative rock act reaffirms that they know how to hit you right where it hurts and make it feel good.
The song encapsulates the emotional struggle of losing something you know and trying to hold it together. That desperation is vividly illustrated by the song’s dynamic structure: quiet, brooding verses that simmer with tension erupt into howling choruses like an emotional volcano. The balance or lack thereof between these two moments feels like balancing on a knife’s edge, which Thurtythree nails with unwavering accuracy.
“Control” fits into the sonic spectrum between nostalgia and the state-of-the-art, combining ’90s alt-rock grit with a contemporary indie-rock shine. It’s a sound that’s familiar and brand new, custom-built for a new generation of rock fans, yet a respectful nod to the genre’s golden age.
This is a follow-up to pounding bangers like “Dodged a Bullet” and “Raid,” but “Control” is a clear evolution, a more personal but still shocking anthem that leaves listeners panting for more. As excitement brews for standouts from Thurtythree’s debut album, due out in April 2025, this song serves as an exhilarating excerpt of the future.
And with “Control,” Thurtythree song is for anyone whose world ever seemed to shake beneath them, a reminder that searching for stability is a war worth waging.
