Field Trip Day’s latest single, “Ode To Office Culture” is a little directed at those stressed-out people in service jobs, this is nostalgic as hell but also up-to-the-minute. From the first riff, “Ode To Office Culture” hits with big, muscular guitars that demand attention immediately. The song’s venomous lyrics spare nothing and no one, from the ridiculous rituals to the lazy corporate buzzwords that make office life feel like an unbearable trial.
Field Trip Day is all about splitting the difference between feeling bad and being good. The energy is infectious, making anyone who has already finished work that day want to belt out and commercialize their own workday frustration. What really works about “Ode To Office Culture” is its universality. Most people will have encountered the tedium and ridiculousness of office life at some point, but Field Trip Day takes that collective experience and makes it a call-to-arms. Pairing anthemic alt-rock energy with smart, relatable storytelling, the band offers a track that’s as much a release valve as it is a critique.
For fans of early-2000s alternative rock jonesing for authenticity and grit in their playlists, “Ode To Office Culture” is a must-hear. It’s raw, cathartic and guaranteed to resonate with anyone who has ever lived for the moment when 5 p.m. rolls around. On this release, Field Trip Day prove they have a knack for transforming real-world strife into bracing, unforgettable music.
