Indie alt-pop duo Cardiac Half share new single & music video “City Lights”

New single and accompanying video celebrate the intoxicating rush of new love

 Smoothly delicious and emotive, indie alt-pop duo Cardiac Half share their new single “City Lights” today. A slow-pulsing, yet powerful melody leads the way, for an intensely emotional track that follows the intense surge of exploring new love. Set against the backdrop of a bustling city, the rest of the world is closed out, and there’s only tonight to live for.

Swelling into a memorable pop single, “City Lights” celebrates the sweeping intoxication of new love, with extremely relatable lyrics and addictive melody. “The primary theme in City Lights is love, absolutely. There’s also a dreamy element to the song in the sense that the characters are high class for one night,” shared vocalist/keyboardist Drew Miller. “They’re living life large, doing what they want, whenever they want. Money and sleep, none of it matters for this one night. Tomorrow will come, and then they’ll just be your average Joe’s. But even if tomorrow were to never come, they’d still have each other.”

A celebration, promise, and open reflection to reveling in the joy of the moment, the lyrics say it all: “City lights dancing in your eyes, city lights up on the high rise, you looking so fine tonight, kiss me and sparks will fly… brighter than the city lights.” Blending together a call for a care-free spontaneity and celebration to live in the moment is backed with the promise of eternal, unconditional love for whatever is to come.

Cardiac Half is more than your average pop group – the duo, Drew and Dylan Miller, are brothers. Influenced by variety of alternative, pop and electronic artists, they craft intensely personal, emotive, and downright addictive melodies. They shared, “City Lights was a tough one as far as recording in the studio goes. We thought we had an idea of where we wanted to take it before going in, but then we couldn’t agree on certain things like the groove or song structure.” The track went through a few modifications, before they found the perfect fit. The result builds a directly personal, intimate delivery, full of simple yet addictive pop hooks. “Huge thank you to our producer Ryan Wilson of Hey Hey Studios for being patient with us. We couldn’t be more proud of where the song is.”
