Spinning Wheel

Rat Tally foregrounds the stops and starts of relationships and where it all leave us

Stream “Spinning Wheel”

Chicago’s Rat Tally foregrounds the stops and starts of relationships. How we can find difficulty in finding the right words to connect the vast territories of inner emotional life with the everyday world that surrounds us.

Her first single “Spinning Wheel,” from the forthcoming In My Car, uses the pop rock vernacular to build plaintive thoughts into a sweet & sorrowful chorus. Extra points for the Boston and New England shout outs. The charming track is at home on adult contemporary rock stations, though the brief squealing electric guitar blowup suggests there’s a little peppery punch along with all the salty tears.
