From the heart of Falmouth, England, um ok returns after a two-year hiatus with a stunning musical offering that redefines the boundaries of indie indie rock. Their new single, “[take one] PASS IT ON,” stands as a testament to the band's unique and authentic artistic approach—a sonic journey that captures their distinctive essence while inviting listeners to dive into an unparalleled experience, transcending the auditory plane to offer a highly evocative and immersive sensory encounter.
Across its nearly seven-minute duration, “[take one] PASS IT ON” unfolds like an authentic astral journey. Every second is meticulously crafted to transport the listener to an alternate dimension, where soft, ethereal melodies intertwine with subtlety, leaving no room for distraction. Delicate and captivating vocal lines gracefully glide over the guitars, whose chords and melodic lines develop into harmonious progressions that evolve fluidly and continuously.
One of the most striking aspects of this track is its immensely dynamic structure, which effortlessly plays with shifts in intensity, keeping the listener entranced in a state of relaxation and continuous emotional release. This track does not aim to stand out through complex effects or intricate guitar solos but through the spontaneity with which the band ventures into new sonic territories. “[take one] PASS IT ON” is an exercise in elegant musical experimentation, where simplicity becomes the key to achieving artistic beauty. It is a moment where music, more than just sound, transforms into a genuine form of emotional communication.
Officially released in September 2024, “[take one] PASS IT ON” is part of a larger work—their EP titled (with a touch of humor and perhaps irony) “[this is an] EP.” Positioned as the fourth track on the album, it also serves as the closing piece for this spectacular collection of songs.
