It appears that evidently OnlyOneOf are not any extra, however of their place we have now new group QQQ, comprised of members KB and 9 and former member Love. Normally, a splintering like this might be trigger for fear, however OnlyOneOf have been well-known for his or her self-composed music and the masterminds behind it are on this group.
Ok-pop might actually use some new concepts, and KB and 9 really feel like idols who might push issues ahead. However first, we have to get the pesky re-debut/rebrand out of the best way. Unsurprisingly, Uncool feels prefer it might’ve match on any OnlyOneOf album, although I don’t suppose it could have been the title observe. The ambition feels extra muted right here, as the fellows go for a comparatively simple rock track. They ship it with a punky aptitude, although there are too many vocal results for my liking. And quite than construct towards a standout refrain, most of Uncool is solely fashionable chanting. This works effectively sufficient for a track inside this style, however doesn’t depart a lot of an impression past the general aesthetic.
I don’t need to saddle QQQ with unfair expectations, however it’s unimaginable to not examine their music to OnlyOneOf’s discography given how implausible their historical past was. The comparability doesn’t assist them right here, as Uncool seems like a blip on the radar in comparison with one thing extra sprawling and game-changing like libidO and dOpamine. I hope they’ll get again to that degree of pleasure on future releases.
