Any day with new music from Charly Bliss is a good one, a day with a new Charly Bliss single that we’re pretty sure we’ll be listening to for a long time makes the day that much better. The Brooklyn indie-pop band returns today (May 1) in grand fashion with a sweeping new single called “Nineteen,” and it finds Eva Hendricks and the boys reflecting back on young love. It’s one hell of a tune, and feels like a creative peak is on the horizon (which is not too shabby for a band that wrote 2019’s forever unfuckwithable “Capacity”).
“I’ll always be fascinated by love and relationships that don’t quite work and bring tsunamis of heartbreak,” Hendricks says. “The further away I am from it, the kind of love that bashes you against the rocks just as often as it carries you over waves of manic joy, the easier it is to see the full scope of it. First love is crazy.”
The epic “Nineteen” is the first taste of the band’s new album FOREVER, due out August 16 on Lucky Number Music. It’ll probably be the highlight of the summer.
