The music begins with a seductive bassline that creates a dark start reflecting the legendary coldness of post-punk bassline. As the song progresses, rough, atmospheric guitar riffs show up, providing character and the feel. The vocals stand out, with a strong, Siouxsie Sioux-inspired style that combines drama and aggression. The vocalist&#8217;s dramatic edge contrasts with the rough guitar colors, creating an interesting tension that is both &#8220;troubling&#8221;\u00a0and intriguing. This combination of dark theatricality and cutting edge maintains the essence of post-punk, but with an elegant edge that shows the band&#8217;s commitment to modern production quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Vows\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/2Q1EJXTm4pMbAsQLZmNwlO?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/the.haptics\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/the.haptics<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Haptics, a Vancouver-based band, brings a fresh however nostalgic post-punk spirit to their single&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25702,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[455,4258],"class_list":["post-25701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-post-punk","tag-the-haptics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25701"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25701\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25703,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25701\/revisions\/25703"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
