The duo continue to build steam following a stellar 2022.
On their intoxicating and sober new release ‘maybe next year’, Fake Dad continue to showcase the unique charm and creativity that has earned the duo so many plaudits and admirers.
The track is a devastatingly potent showcase of their unique indie pop appeal, with its longing, optimistic message melded with a thoughtful soundscape that burns slowing, taking in every drop of atmosphere and off-kilter appeal. The track is an ode to chasing your dreams, and never letting go of the hope that things are going to turn around and end up exactly where you want them to be. There is almost a Deftones or Radiohead-like sense of yearning and longing in the vocals and composition that wouldn’t feel out of place on one of the moodier cuts of OK Computer. ‘maybe next year’ is a masterpiece of a track, a love letter to their future selves that drips with poignancy and emotion, gripping you with its captivating charm and never letting go.
