Chase Atlantic release new EP and music video
Where pop and R&B meet, you will find Australian-born (now LA-based) band Chase Atlantic. However, don’t let their upbeat sound fool you; their music has unmistakably dark elements in the lyrics. Their debut UK single, Triggered, off their latest EP, Part Two, is set for release on 19 May.
Triggered evokes imagery of late nights, city lights, fast cars,and teenage angst; elements which can be seen in the music video (released on Friday 21 April). This song, or at least the chorus (“Tarantino killing love”),will get get stuck in your head long after you’ve finished listening to it. It has everything it needs to be one of the top tracks of 2017, while still staying true to Chase Atlantic’s unique style.
The second track from Part Two, Cassie, is inspired by the troubled character from the UK teen TV series Skins. Combining a saxophone-backed chorus with synthesized beats, this track, like the show it references, could easily become a cult favourite. However, Cassie maintains Chase Atlantic’s constant dark undercurrent in its lyricism (which goes so far to reference overdosing) and features a heart monitor at the end of the track.
With two successful independent EPs, and the recently released Part One and Part Two already getting 5 star reviews on iTunes, Chase Atlantic are bound to be one of the big names of 2017.
