The Chemistry Set – Impossible Love

| On 15, May 2011

“Impossible Love” is the soaring, ethereal, groovy new single by The Chemistry Set. I would say based on the title, that this is a love song but honestly I don’t have a clue because “Impossible love” is one of those rare songs where the melody and the groove are so enthralling that I found myself subconsciously tuning out the lyrics and just going with the flow of the beat.

The song has no clear song structure but over the course of 6 minutes it flows seamlessly from one harmonious section to the next. After listening to some of The Chemistry Set’s back catalogue I have fallen in love with their style- a blend of trippy pop, rock with hypnotic harmonies and a textured rich sound.

There is no doubt that “Impossible Love” is one of their best yet. This single is a throwback to the 60’s-but with a modern twist.  With bands like MGMT and Temper Trap reviving the more experimental sound of psychedelic rock, Impossible Love” would not sound out of place on the charts today.
