#world’sgreatestdad The Atlanta emo band, worlds greatest dad, is set to release their sophomore album, “Better Luck Next Time,” later this summer. Following their well-received debut album, “get well soon,” released in 2018, the band has already teased fans with singles like “KO” and “Twenty Deer.” Now, they have shared a new track titled “The Ocean,” which showcases their signature power-pop sound with gritty guitar riffs.
Lead singer Maddie Duncan reflects on their Florida roots in the lyrics of “The Ocean,” reminiscing about the beaches and landscapes of their childhood. The song captures the essence of feeling like a mess, with themes of longing, financial struggles, and self-deprecating thoughts. Duncan’s raw and heartfelt lyrics convey a mix of nostalgia and angst, making the track relatable to listeners who have experienced similar emotions.
In a recent press release, Duncan shares their personal connection to Florida, a place often misunderstood but cherished for its beauty and uniqueness. The track serves as a tribute to the state and its complexities, while also acknowledging the challenges faced by marginalized communities. With references to capitalism and societal issues, “The Ocean” delivers a message of resilience and love for a place that may not always reciprocate those feelings.
The music video for “The Ocean” was shot by Duncan and their partner, Monica Misiak, during a scooter trip through Florida. The visuals capture the essence of the song’s themes, showcasing the natural beauty of the state alongside moments of introspection and vulnerability.
“Better Luck Next Time” is scheduled for release on 9/13 through SideOneDummy, and fans can expect a collection of tracks that delve into personal experiences and emotions. Drawing influences from bands like Against Me! and Led Zeppelin, worlds greatest dad continues to carve out their unique sound in the emo music scene.
