From the first shimmering chords of “After Hours”, MOVIE MOVIE invites you into a twilight world where nostalgia meets fresh energy. The song glides forward with a confident drive and a warm glow, powered by guitar lines that nod to classic rock and new wave alike, and a rhythm section that holds everything tight. It feels cinematic, not just in name but in spirit, almost like it could underscore the closing credits of a late night film.
Andrea Sicco’s vocal delivery balances grit and clarity, weaving between reflections of yearning and resolve. The harmonies from Frank Caira hover just behind, adding depth and texture. Derek Davidson’s bass anchors the song with steady purpose while leaving space for the melody to shine. When the instrumental break arrives, the guitars step up with brightness and playful touches that reward close listening.
The arrangement hits the sweet spot: nothing feels crowded, yet every element plays an important role. The production keeps a bit of rawness, avoiding too much polish, which makes the track feel honest and immediate. As the song fades out, it feels like the lights dimming on a stage after a heartfelt performance.
What makes “After Hours” stand out is how it blends classic influences with a fresh outlook. It reflects the glam and power pop roots that run through MOVIE MOVIE’s catalog while sounding fully alive in the present. This track builds real anticipation for the upcoming Coming Attractions EP.
I truly enjoyed this release. It is polished but full of life, emotional yet propulsive. “After Hours” is one of those songs you want to hit repeat on the moment it ends.
