The Utopiates' song "Insomnia" is a restless, groovy blast of energy that sounds like a night without sleep, tense, electric, and impossible to ignore. The song is the last single from their next album, "Let's Make This Happen." It shows the band when their music is really coming together. "Insomnia" is all about rhythm and attitude, and it has a lot of punk and funk sounds that are stripped down.
The song moves forward with a strong, driving backbone that feels both tightly controlled and excitingly loose. The song works because of Joe's drumming, and the way he plays it with such confidence gives it a lot of strength. The song feels like it was planned, but it could also explode at any moment, which makes the energy build and build.
Andy works behind the board to give the band a rough edge while keeping the arrangement tight and clear. The sound is bold but still has a raw edge, which makes the band's punky groove stronger instead of weaker. The guitar solo by Josh is one of the best parts of the song. It has some of the angular, art-funk style that Talking Heads used to use. It's a smart sound effect that gives the song more depth and character without slowing it down.
The band stay in the groove and let the beat do the talking. That style makes the song sound like it's going to go off on stage, like a live-wire song. "Insomnia" is a powerful last preview of "Let's Make This Happen," and it shows that The Utopiates know how to turn raw intensity into something big.
