Matthew Squires & Sunk Coast creates a beautiful chaos and a groove on "What’s Going On?"

Matthew Squires & Sunk Coast kick off “What’s Going On?” with an inviting blend of lively drums, a rich bass line, and expressive guitar work before diving into delightfully lyrical. Refrains like "what's going on" become hypnotic touchstones to playful images like "Moses is playing golf with Pharaoh" and "Jeffrey's ghost is playing trumpet. " Rather than asking for logic, the song asks us to enjoy its absurdist allure. Musically, it keeps it tight all the way, combining quirky narrative with an irresistible beat. The result is an imaginative, memorable, and pleasantly surprising number.
