Raising the musical bar to new heights, US export The Unlikely Candidates have arrived with the help of divine intervention.
Inhabiting a space that’s nestled somewhere between X Ambassadors and Imagine Dragons, the Texan five-piece have set about delivering a track that uphold’s their home state’s oversized reputation. A feisty dose of grit smattered alt-pop,”Oh My Dear Lord” is a true taste of enlightenment.
A fresh cut bubbling with energy, the track unleashes lyricism that reads like a rolling confession. Calls of “My future used to shine bright as a diamond/Where did time go/I was so high it was frightening/I know I messed up but there’s no use in crying,” reverberate alongside the track’s hook filled chorus.
Paired with cries of “Oh my dear Lord!”, this release is a delightfully sinful listening experience. Prancing pianos weave amongst heady synths, crafting a soundscape that packs one hell of a punch.
Having already logged countless miles on the road alongside everyone from The Offspring to Fall Out Boy, this is a sound worthy of your undivided attention.
