Points Release The Heartbreak Anthem ‘Hey’

Hertfordshire’s alternative indie rock band, Points, have made a striking return with their latest single, ‘Hey' . This reflective sonic journey features atmospheric soundscapes and cleverly crafted soaring guitar riffs, transporting listeners to another dimension.

Formed in sunny Baldock, Points are no ordinary band. They experiment with indie rock by blending clean, melodic vocals with hazy instrumentals, creating a unique contrast and pushing the boundaries of what their sound is.

‘Hey’ weaves the narrative of heartbreak and the mistakes that follow whilst in a vulnerable state of mind, this is expressed in the lyrics: “Hey! Why you acting so cruel. Why you being so cold…well I’m feeling lost, I shouldn’t care at all I don’t want to count on anyone”. 

This vulnerability is further accentuated by a fuzzy bassline symbolizing sensitivity and the low point of heartbreak, simulating a sense of being on auto-pilot. In contrast, a lively, gripping guitar arrangement builds up, representing the intense and ever-changing emotions experienced during heartbreak. This contrast adds depth to ‘Hey,’ drawing the listener into the fluctuating emotional landscape.

Points are the band to watch out for, they know how to create interesting melodies that twist and turn. In ‘Hey’ they cleverly blend different tempos to convey different waves of emotion, showing listeners that healing is not linear.
