The Skinny Review:
This is a really fantastic indie rock single. It gives me some summery vibes, like something you want to listen to in the car with the windows down, driving aimlessly. Sad and hopeful at the same time, which makes the song stay with you long after listening.
In Their Own Words:
"Lately, I Believe"
marks the first time we've used the word love in a song. We liked the
juxtaposition of something casual and transient like "lately" being
applied to something as serious as a belief, especially a belief in
something important like love. And then we asked, is love something
you're supposed to believe in or that you feel?
This song, ultimately, is a nod to the journey of becoming
empowered and feeling a sense of uplift... though that may sound strange
given this track has a refrain of "Well, it's hopeless."
This single was produced by the great Dan Hosh and recorded at
Catherine North Studios in Hamilton, Ontario. We commuted from Toronto
to do some serious tone diving after initially setting up to record live
off the floor. Our producer leaned into restraint on the arrangement
and a 50s pop vibe in the chorus, which really highlighted our melodic
strengths.
Evidently, easily bored with just falling in line.
For us, "Lately, I Believe" is about restlessness and fighting against the inevitable.
There is potential for hope and purpose despite it all.
