Indie trio The Brazen Youth recently released their second single of the year, “Cloud Parade” – our featured ONErpm Hitmaker Alert! Nicholas Lussier, Charles Dahlke and Micah Rubin spent most of their time during the pandemic at Dahlke’s family farm. There, they’ve been able record new music, which they showcased with earlier release “Hometown,” and now with “Cloud Parade.”
“Cloud Parade” has a gentle and calming tone that follows their indie sound that they do so well. With powerful instrumentals, the listener is able to fully digest the lyrics and theme of the song. One might interpret this song as leaving behind things that have gone on too long. With the theme of moving on, The Brazen Youth discussed with Culture Collide what that could mean for their future.
We’ve thought about retiring! But, I think we’d like to get another album out of the way… We recorded 15 songs this summer, but I think we’re gonna record probably another 10, then look through that and see if we have an album.
