Fake Dad Mesmerizes Listeners With Electrifying New Single “I Like The Beach”

Indie alternative duo Fake Dad delivers a mesmerizing track paying homage to their playful, profound romance with their new single “I Like The Beach,” out now. Andrea de Varona and Josh Ford come together to create the stylistic fusion that is Fake Dad. Beyond their music careers, Andrea and Josh – from their Brooklyn studio apartment – are happily in love; Andrea wrote this song about Josh, and the two went on to record and produce this track in their home studio. Residing somewhere between the stylings of artists like Brittany Howard, Nirvana, and FINNEAS, Fake Dad delivers a signature, eccentric modern sound. A necessity for any indie lover, this track fuses electronic indie rock with gritty soul giving listeners an ideal record to zen out to.

The color that shines through in “I Like The Beach” – a gorgeous hue reflecting the deepness of their connection – yields an enticing signature sound from the marriage of their unique individual styles. The duo drew inspiration from film scores composed by Trent Reznor when creating the soundscape behind “I Like The Beach.” The foundation of this track resides in the smooth bass line and haunting lead vocal; Fake Dad built the rest of the track from those two elements. Dewey keys and arpeggiated synths paint decadent harmony across this track, softly caressing de Varona’s poignant vocals. Self-produced under the mentorship of Grammy award-winning producer Swagg R’Celious (H.E.R., Kehlani, and Alicia Keys), this duo has created an unmistakable sound that is quintessentially Fake Dad. Listeners can find “I Like The Beach” on all major streaming platforms now.

The song “Lockdown” is a true anthem for those who crave rock’s purist energy. It showcases Shyfrin Alliance as a band ready to make a lasting impact, unrestrained and roaring with purpose.

“That’s Not a Lie” by Tamar Berk evokes a symbolic trial with vulnerable bruises of truths

Tamar Berk

In “That’s Not a Lie,” Tamar Berk, a San Diego-based singer-songwriter, showcases her remarkable ability to deliver an intimately profound and soul-baring look into the murky waters of self-realization and relationship dynamics. This track, featured as the second song on her latest album, Good Times for a Change,’ encapsulates the ache of self-discovery while navigating sometimes painful truths that emerge from personal reflection. Berk’s musical style embodies an indie-pop rock sound that resonates with tinges of nostalgia while simultaneously exhibiting a classic edge drawing parallels to the unfiltered emotions expressed by artists such as Snail Mail and the haunting introspection commonly associated with Phoebe Bridgers.

The accompanying music video employs an interrogation-style narrative, ingeniously reflecting the internal emotional scrutiny individuals frequently experience within themselves. As Berk’s vocals soar, traversing a deliberately tension-filled melody, she encourages the audience to confront their hidden faults and vulnerabilities. The video artfully portrays various therapy sessions characterized by both accusation and gentle reconciliation that come from being indeed seen, almost like a one-on-one interrogation where Berk is both witness and participant. While the setting conveys weighty themes, it serves as a symbolic trial, not designed to judge or deliver a verdict but to foster an underlying sense of acceptance and understanding. It creates an anthemic warmth that reassures listeners of the solace in the company of those who genuinely understand, care for, and accept them.

Through poignant lyrics that penetrate the haze of uncertainty, Berk’s songwriting deftly captures the intricate dance of honesty that often occurs in our interactions with those closest to us in relationships. “That’s Not a Lie” is a compelling reminder that acknowledging our truths, including the more arduous aspects, constitutes a decisive step towards personal growth. This composition emphasizes the understanding that authentic comfort arises from embracing our true selves rather than shying away from the complexities of our identities. Tamar Berk has produced a sincere and engaging piece, rendering it a must-listen for anyone brave enough to confront their imperfections.
