Gin Wife’s vocals are the centerpiece of the composition, guiding listeners on this epic sonic voyage with such precision and finesse.

Instead, they articulate harmoniously, making this epic sonic journey even more appealing to the ears. Of course, this composition wouldn’t sound complete without robust, heavy, energetic rhythmic patterns, based upon cleverly assembled and flawlessly performed beats, breaks, fills, and other percussive acrobatics. Every instrument has its place and purpose in this sonic equation, and “Pro Golfers” is definitely one of those tracks that possesses all the qualities one alternative and indie rock song needs.
