Today, Charly Bliss share ‘Calling You Out,’ the addictive new single from their recently announced forthcoming album, FOREVER, out August 16 on Lucky Number. The song comes with a video directed by Adam Kolodny and inspired by the Beastie Boys ‘Shake Your Rump’ music video from 1989 and Wong Kar-wai’s 1995 film Fallen Angels.
“Falling in love with someone wonderful, I didn’t know how to not fall into the same bullshit that was part of all my previous relationships – namely jealousy. I wasted a lot of time at the beginning trying to poke holes, to see if it was all for real. I think I was trying to protect myself, I’ll find the catch before the catch finds me! But there was no catch,” Eva Hendricks explains.
Last month the band announced FOREVER with a video for lead single ‘Nineteen.’ Jack Antonoff took to social media and praised the song, calling it “outstanding,” while NPR said it’s “worthy of a placement on The O.C. back in the early 2000s” and Rolling Stone called it a “ballad of the highest order, complete with a saxophone solo and the complex nostalgia that can still strike years after a broken heart.”
Additionally, Charly Bliss is announcing a North American headline tour for September and October. Tickets are available tomorrow, Friday May 31 at 10 am local time via the band’s website.
FOREVER, produced by Jake Luppen (Hippo Campus) and Caleb Wright (Samia) along with the band’s Sam Hendricks, is full of the band’s biggest, brightest power pop yet, but it’s an evolution, not a departure. FOREVER crams a lifetime of feeling, decades of friendship, and years of craft into a batch of sonically tight but emotionally vast songs that activate the pleasure centers in your brain. The songs shimmer and burst, the way fireworks look like they should sound.
Charly Bliss is Eva Hendricks, Sam Hendricks, Spencer Fox and Dan Shure.
