SINGLE REVIEW: Meat In Space - Tangerine
‘Tangerine’ from Meat In Space, the pseudonym of Shawn Steadman, is a raw, unfiltered track that blends gritty garage rock with a sense of personal struggle. The song carries a message of overcoming adversity, delivered through layers of fuzzy guitars and unpredictable, shapeshifting vocals that grab your attention. There’s a hypnotic quality to the distorted sound, but it’s anchored by solid, steady drumming that stops things from tipping over into chaos.
The track has a definite retro 60s feel, but it’s more than just nostalgia. The guitars feel fresh and unpolished, with a jagged, eclectic solo that cuts through the mix, adding another layer to the song’s raw character. Stedman’s vocals are at the heart of it all—authentic and heartfelt, carrying the emotional weight of the track without ever sounding forced.
‘Tangerine’ doesn’t try to be anything other than what it is: honest, gritty, and full of heart. It’s straightforward but packs enough punch to leave an impression. No fluff—just a genuine, unpretentious sound that makes its message clear.
