Empty Kodiak delivers a quietly defiant alt-indie pop gem with “we’re gonna be ok.”

Cleveland’s Empty Kodiak is back with their second single of the year, titled "we're gonna be ok." it's actually just the third release since the act formed back in 2021. The band is a seven-piece line-up, and with that in mind, you need to get ready for one heck of a soundscape.

... a shimmering, shoegaze-tinged pop anthem from the seven-piece that sounds far bigger than just their third-ever release.

The charming pop gem is a stunning example of using washed-out guitar sounds on a backing of charismatic vocals. The tempo is set so perfectly that you'll be tapping your foot or feel along in appreciation, and with those subtle shoegaze sounds, it'll be elevating you up even if you're having a bummer of a day. 

I honestly could not believe that this band is only on their third ever release; it sounds so cohesive that I thought they were already touring the USA and Canada, playing to thousands of people per night. So be sure to jump on this song and play it non-stop before everyone else decides to.
