Carter Lagrant - Follow The Rules

Follow The Rules - Carter Lagrant (Pop) Dark and brooding, Carter Lagrant’s latest track, “Follow The Rules”, is a haunting affair with an 80s sensibility. On the record, Carter sings about defying expectations, breaking stereotypes and making your own rules, all as a hammer-like snare bangs through the miasma of swirling pads to give the track momentum. The vocal reminds us a lot of the Pet Shop Boys—”West End Girls” in particular—which shines among an epic, cinematic instrumental production. We particularly enjoyed the buzzing bass lead and all of the techno effects that pepper the track, which make the listener feel like they are being pulled into the matrix. A vibey track for sure.

Best Lyric: “Build a fortress no one could ever asail.”
