Emerging from the heart of Arkansas, alternative rock band Census returns with a standout new single, “Outta My Head.” As the title track of their June 2025 EP, this song sets the tone for the project with its explosive energy, sharp songwriting, and confident sense of direction.
Clocking in at just under four minutes, “Outta My Head” wastes no time getting to the point. From its tense opening lines to its crashing conclusion, the track captures the emotional chaos of trying to make sense of a connection gone wrong—where truth feels distorted, trust is shattered, and escape feels just out of reach.
Vocalist Ben Carey brings a commanding presence to the track, balancing aggression and melody with a controlled urgency. His delivery cuts through the mix with clarity, adding a sense of immediacy that keeps the momentum going. The lyrics keep it simple in the best way—no fluff, just raw emotion delivered through lines that stick with you long after the song ends.
What sticks with me most about “Outta My Head” is how instantly memorable it is. The kind of song you play once and suddenly it’s looping in your head for hours — not because it’s catchy in a pop sense, but because it hits something real. It’s the sound of trying to untangle your feelings mid-fall, and Census nails that emotional freefall without overcomplicating it.
For fans of bands like Dayseeker, Movements, or early Hands Like Houses, Census delivers a similar blend of heaviness and melody, but with a voice that feels uniquely their own. “Outta My Head” doesn’t just demand attention—it earns it.
Whether you’re a longtime listener or just discovering them, “Outta My Head” is a high-impact single that deserves repeat plays. Stream it now on Spotify here.
