Curses is a song that showcases PLRLS’ ability to blend various musical genres together to create a unique sound. The upbeat tempo and catchy melody are reminiscent of the new wave movement of the 80s, while the lyrics and vocal delivery have a strong indie influence. The female vocals add a great dynamic to the song and bring a fresh perspective to the lyrics, which are catchy and have an element of fun. The band also pays homage to the B52s with the vocal delivery, which is a nice touch and adds an extra layer of nostalgia to the song.
The instrumentation is also noteworthy, with the guitar riffs being particularly memorable. The guitar work is both catchy and manic and it adds a boat load of energy to the song. It's a perfect song for dancing and singing along, and it's definitely worth a listen for fans of upbeat new wave music
