Local five piece Buckley Ward have unleashed a winner with their new single “So Pretend”. The lush instrumentation and delicate arrangements soothe as they swirl amidst heavenly vocals and beguiling tribal rhythms.
“So Pretend” is one of those songs that gets stuck in your head but never grows old with its gentle atmospherics and comforting vibe that displays the band’s talent for nailing sweet pop tunes with an air of eclecticism. It’s a strong sign of better things to come when Buckley Ward release their debut LP in the near future.
