Five tracks comprising CENTRIFUGE’s first EP ‘Daydreams & Breakdowns’ released on May 2nd deliver intense emotions and energetic vintage guitar tones. This album features breakup themes alongside raw vocals and unfiltered energy which makes it perfect for blasting through speakers during a wild night or as background music for an extended quiet car ride. Through their music, the band successfully mixes elements from 70s power pop with 90s alternative rock and early 2000s indie sounds which creates a sound that feels both recognizable yet refreshingly different from today’s highly polished music industry. The songs navigate through emotional pain without weighing you down. The music reaches out to envelop you in comfort by throwing its arm around your shoulder while giving you a beer.

The opener “It’s All Gone” brings the album to life with crunchy riffs and resigned lyrics that encapsulate the feeling of realizing an end has arrived before the start could even happen. “The Spell” develops with a darker groove which resembles the emotional hangover felt after initial excitement disappears. The album reaches its peak with “You Are Yesterday” which stands out as an audacious anthem featuring piercing guitars alongside crashing drums and a powerful organ solo. This track reaches the ideal intersection for Jet and Mando Diao fans through its compelling chorus which demands to be sung at full volume. This breakup song stands tall with its loud and proud sound while maintaining a brutally catchy melody.

“Someone Who Loves Me” maintains raw guitar energy while adopting a gentler style. The track maintains its strength through an engaging hook and consistent rhythm although it carries vulnerability. “Daydream Lover” ends the EP with a more upbeat composition that combines thoughtful reflection with playful elements. The song channels hopeful weariness which feels like fresh air on the morning after a sleepless night. ‘Daydreams & Breakdowns’ doesn’t try to be deep or cool—it just is what it is: honest, loud, and full of heart. This debut delivers a powerful impact and makes you crave more immediately.
