There is an undeniable Paul Simon Graceland vibe veiled in the stripped down honesty of "Clean Up," the latest track from indie pop darlings JRJR's unofficial forthcoming record. The band (Josh Epstein, Dan Zott, Bryan Pope and Mike Higgins) have shifted their focus inward and in doing so has found that less is more. Though "Clean Up" is a far cry from their 2015 banger "Gone" it has a staying power for anyone silently wrestling their own inner demons, even without the anthemic production. "Hey, if I don't go home soon/I'm gonna freak out/And I thought hey, if I don't clean up/I know I'll miss out" confesses a defeated Epstein, who has been open about his struggles with anxiety and mental health. Docile and feathery percussions paired with twinkling keys and a somber, hushed guitar, it's these very subtleties in "Clean Up" that reveal a more vulnerable JRJR. And though we have no doubts that they haven't completely shed their penchant for showy pop-rock, it's refreshing to see a band stripped down by experience and growth opposed to commercial success and label pressures. Dust off and clean up with the latest therapy session from Detroit based JRJR:
