“You Tripped Me Up” is an excellent offering from the Milwaukee-based band, showing inspirations taken from new wave as well as early 2000s indie rock. It’s a song that feels reminiscent of the sounds explored by Jimmy Eat World on Clarity as well as The Thermals’s classic The Body, the Blood, the Machine. It’s a very exciting new ground for The Pulltops to find themselves standing out, highlighting their ever-evolving ability to innovate while still remaining true to their own aesthetic flawlessly.
The track soars with defiant melodies and an adventurous production, relying on restrained textures and emotional-driven vocals. “You Tripped Me Up” is a song about dealing with the aftermath of having your trust in someone broken, going fully in and holding nothing back. Essentially it’s a track about cutting the person out of your life due to pressing questions, offering a reason for the decision but never asking for an apology or even making room for one. “You Tripped Me Up” perfectly illustrates the moment in which the bond is far beyond repair and the only thing left to be done is to walk away and don’t look back.
It’s a very interesting angle, explored beautifully by the band. There’s a myriad of conflicting emotions and directions being confronted at once, creating a dynamic track that is filled with nuance. Their latest effort shows the band headed towards an exhilarating and refreshing new page, bringing out the best of the duo as they stretch their brand of power pop into something thrilling.
“You Tripped Me Up” feels less experimental than “Carry On”, but finds itself standing in an incredible middle ground between their previous single’s futuristic tendencies and the oldschool indie rock dynamics the duo’s been expertly crafting for years. It’s a reinvigorating step for the act, an impressive foray into new influences that does a remarkable job in agglutinating them into their sound with seamless effort and a wonderous eye, laying the ground for intriguing and lively new paths that will certainly lead to even more impressive music going forward.
