I stumbled across this band accidentally. I'm so glad I did.

[bee.ok]

the way the shadows move looks so beautiful. also lying in bed and singing to this is completely the vibe of this song and i relate to that haha

[ethanxzane]

the coloring and overall cinematography match this song so well. yall never fail to deliver

16mm is tight! Mark my words: Tame Impala are going to be doing Back Seat Lovers covers within seven years.

LYRICS

Feels a little like a waste of the day
I'd like to think that was the right thing to say
But it feels a little like
I'm not quite ready for all this change
My lungs are screaming
Could you give us a break?
Keep on givin' and givin' and givin' and I take
Pavement Sunday, heavy fire
People's eyes are looking tired
Haven't cried in a while
Maybe now's a good time
Missed a couple of your calls today
Wish I had a good excuse to say
But I don't have one
Guess I lost track of time
Feels a little like it might be the day
That I run out of all the right things to say
And it feels a little like
I'm not quite ready
And the house begins to shake
I'm tired of waiting for the walls to cave
I haven't cried in a while
Haven't cried in a while

Just what my ears needed.
Always loving how old fashion the music and aesthetic is. There's no crazy reverb and modulations on the vocals like most indie bands. The instruments all retain a classical texture. Y'all dress like the 90's-2000's never happened, AND y'all are shooting your videos on film. Blessed to be vibing in the same lifetime as you guys 💗

[phoebetodders]

Gotta love and appreciate the indie community <3

[RandomQD]

I have no words to describe how much I like this band and how glad I am to have found their music. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My second cousin, Lucas, died a couple months ago, he was in love with this band. Joshua sang an edited version of Davy crochet for him. I hate the circumstances but I look forward to falling in love with this band as well

[Liz-innb]

this type of music, this type of aesthetic, this band is pure gold so beautifully executed

[janaethomas]

the music flows so well with the singing i can’t

[allnatural]

To The Backseat Lovers, you've got something really special going on here. Just like two backseat lovers really do. after all, it has to be something really special to be loving in the back seat 🥰😘🤩
