Cardinals are a six-piece band who released their debut single, in 2023. They’re now back with their latest single, ‘Unreal’.
With a 90s-2000s rock style, this song had me hooked by the second line. ‘Unreal’ is particularly memorable for its fun beat and oddly familiar tone. With no surprises, I can say the instrumentals in this song were brilliant. The rhythm section created an exciting beat throughout the song, and with the vocals, allowing the pace to change around without fully altering the tone. The tone, which is almost longing, something unexpected with the energy of ‘Unreal’. Cardinals have done an excellent job of balancing out each aspect and layer of this song in a way that would be brilliant to see performed live.
If you, enjoy ‘Unreal’ then I highly recommend keeping a lookout for Cardinal’s tour which is starting on the 9th May.
