The Criticals announce new EP ‘Front Door Confrontations’
THE CRITICALS have announced a new EP!
Titled Front Door Confrontations, the upcoming EP from the Nashville-based rock duo is their debut EP and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via Fantasy Records.
Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming EP; Clever Girl. Speaking about the new song, the band says, “we really wanted an upbeat, straight forward song to finish out this EP- one to tie all the others together. Clever Girl started after having a dance party of all the new tunes we were really digging. Lyrically I felt like I had been writing the same stuff over and over again recently, so I just decided to go off of a personal encounter I had eves-dropping on a couple at a bar a few nights before we started writing the song.
We started Clever Girl with a desire for a robotic dance song, after a lull of only writing ballads and mid-tempo grooves. We were listening to THE BRAVERY a lot at that time, so the repetitive downstroke nature of the guitars happened organically. Some songs just arrive and it’s difficult to remember which path you took to get there, and that’s what Clever Girl was. It more or less fell out of us one afternoon.”
