lovelytheband’s new single, anywhere but on my mind, is a midtempo indie/synth pop song about someone you can’t stop thinking about. No matter how hard you try, that person stays on your mind all the time. It captures that universal feeling of hearing their name through mutual friends or scrolling past their social media handles, but wishing you coudl finally move on. It was released at the perfect time since it’s giving spring heartbreak meets summer reflection. It’s catchy yet vulnerable in ways that make you feel like you’re listening to someone else sing your life story and that’s why I love indie music.
One of my favorite things about listening to bands is that you can hear their insturments. I repsect that they never sacrifice that aspect of songwriting and anywhere but on my mind is no different. “Oh no, I saw you at the Beachwood Cafe again. I swore I was over it. Oh no, I heard about your weekend from one your friends and saw on the internet.” Right off the bat, they hit you with vivid scenes that sound like they were ripped straight out of a diary. Strong songwriting and strong production is hard to come by these days so I would highly recommend you check this band out.
lovelytheband is an alternative rock band based in Los Angeles. The duo is comprised of Mitch Collins (lead vocalist and guitarist) and Jordan Greenwald (guitarist and keyboardist). Back in 2017, they released their debut single, “broken”, which charted for 76 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and is certified triple platinum. They went on to be nominated for multiple awards at the biggest award shows including Billboard, Radio Disney, Teen Choice, and iHeartRadio. Their latest album was released in 2024 so it's safe to assume they might be releasing more music this year.
