“Back Pocket” is distinct in its sound when compared to the rest of Vulfpeck’s catalog. It is vocal-heavy and laden with pop sensibility. Not only is the songwriting style somewhat unique for the band, but the official music video marked a departure in in their previous video production aesthetic. Vulfpeck’s music videos are typically footage of them performing the song live, but “Back Pocket”’s was professionally choreographed and features actors.
