Liverpool-based production duo pager is swiftly making a mark with their debut single, "Does Barry Manilow Know That You Raid His Wardrobe?" The track is a fascinating blend of Hyperpop, 2000s Pop-Punk, and Emo, delivering a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary.
Comprising Jay State and Matt Davies, pager draws inspiration from a diverse range of musical influences, resulting in a distinct sonic identity. Their debut single showcases their knack for crafting catchy choruses, confessional lyrics, and infectious beats.
Driven by autotuned vocals, emotive emo guitar riffs reminiscent of American Football, and glitchy hyperpop vocal chops, the single is a dynamic and electrifying listen, establishing pager as a force to be reckoned with in the music scene.
While "Does Barry Manilow Know That You Raid His Wardrobe?" marks pager's official debut, Jay and Matt have been honing their craft behind the scenes, amassing an impressive collection of songs via remote file-sharing. With several releases slated for later this year, pager is positioned to captivate listeners worldwide.
In essence, pager's debut single is brightly produced with a classic hyper-pop twinkle, albeit with a toned-down hyper-pop distortion. It's an upbeat and motivational track that leaves listeners eagerly anticipating their next release.
