Pom Pom Squad’s “Drunk Voicemail” is as gruesome as the pain itself. It revives, in just three and a half minutes, the lost artistry of the dark and gritty love song – or, if an image is helpful, what overlaps in the venn diagram of the “destructive relationship” and “alternative rock”. “Want to tell you I hate you but it’s a lie/” Because I think I love you more than I’m willing to try,” sings Mia Berrin. With guitars and vocals set appreciated, “Drunk Voicemail” depicts someone who holds a love so strong that it is not willing to give it away.
