Camens is a band that's hard to pin down to one genre. They recently put out a long-awaited song called "Cynical" off their upcoming first album WORK/LIFE/BALANCE that's getting some good buzz. The song mixes these gritty 90's alt-rock guitar sounds with super catchy choruses to create a vibe thats uniquely their own.
"Cynical" is about the painful end of a relationship and it touches on that feeling when the magic and passion fade away and you're just going through the motions without any real connection or deep talks anymore. The lyrics definitely cut deep and give you stuff to think about, even though the music itself is pretty light and fun.
I think a lot of people are connecting to "Cynical" because it feels like an anthem for heartbreak somehow. The melodies and vocals remind some folks of bands like The Cranberries from the 90s with that wistful but badass female singer. The rhythms, guitar hooks and singalong vibe hit you right in the feels but also make you wanna turn it up and belt it out.
If you're into bands like The Vaccines or Circa Waves, Camens might be one to add to your rotation. They've gotten some airplay on stations like BBC Radio 6 and Amazing Radio along with plenty of positive press. Releasing "Cynical" is definitely gonna earn Camens a ton more new listeners.
