“Doe Under Headlights” by MAX THREAT – A Song Feature

 

     It’s a song that begs for dissection. And for bloggers, it is easy to accommodate because there is a lack of information about MAX THREAT to convey to readers. During the initial encounters with “Doe Under Headlights”, the shimmering guitar that first emerges after only 15 seconds is the crowd-pleaser. Later, there are the unexpected shifts, such as the guitar characteristics during the bridge at 2:15.
 
     Like the instrumentation, the vocals are seemingly too antsy to sit in a single place. At times, the vocals in “Doe Under Headlights” take a relaxed storytelling approach. In striking contrast, there is an intense, high-energy delivery beginning at 2:44. Diversity carries risk. Admittedly, we weren’t fans of the segment having the intense delivery, at least not at first. But as we equated the segment with a similar approach in Grouplove’s “Tongue Tied,” proper appreciation arrived.
