On Twitter, Mayer has explained his brand-new LPs genre as “I miss you rock” and “unwinded fit” rock. Mayer is nailing that whole visual, however hes not the only person whos been digging into that things recently. And so the paradoxical effect is that Mayers new tune sounds a whole lot like the War On Drugs.

Sob Rock is out 7/16.

On Twitter, Mayer has described his brand-new LPs genre as “I miss you rock” and “relaxed fit” rock. And so the paradoxical impact is that Mayers brand-new tune sounds a whole lot like the War On Drugs.
The tunes also got keyboards from famous 80s session person Greg Phillinganes, who used to be Michael Jacksons musical director and who often visits with Toto. Mayer co-produced the song with Don Was. A lot of talented people put a lot of work into making “Last Train Home” noise as 80s as possible.
“Last Train Home” is pillowy and enjoyable synth-rock, and its breezy adult-contempo vibe hits precisely as intended. The tune is a bit more undoubtedly business than anything that the War On Drugs have actually done, however it resides in that very same blurred 80s-kid dreamspace. Below, have a look at the video, which even looks like something you d see on circa-86 VH1.
