Daily Worker makes Sound Sickness feel like a glorious jangle-pop fever

Daily Worker’s Anymore arrives from Sound Sickness with the kind of loose charm that makes lo-fi indie pop feel less like a limitation and more like a personality trait. Released on 6 June, the Austin project sits in a beautifully familiar but still useful pocket: jangle pop, bedroom rock, folk-rock, shoegaze mist and a little old-school guitar-band craft. The Bandcamp page frames Daily Worker around classic indie rock lineage, with the fingerprints of Harold Whit Williams and that mid-period Beatles, Byrds and light Wilco kind of melodic intelligence hovering in the room. Anymore works because it does not try to crush the listener with importance. It lets the hook carry the feeling. In a week full of heavy concepts and festival spectacle, this is the kind of song that reminds you a clean guitar line, a good melody and a slightly bruised vocal can still do plenty of emotional damage.
