Charly Bliss Made a Good Anthem About Bad Relationships

"Hard To Believe" is the latest single off the Brooklyn band’s 'Young Enough,' which is out May 10.

On May 10, Charly Bliss are releasing a new album called Young Enough and based off the incredibly infectious singles so far in “Capacity” and “Chatroom” it’s easily one of the year’s most anticipated LPs. But the Brooklyn band’s latest preview of their forthcoming sophomore effort might be their best yet. “Hard To Believe,” which Noisey is premiering below, is anchored by a searing, sugary guitar riff and lead vocalist Eva Hendricks singing, “I’m kissing anything that takes me far away from you.” It’s an anthemic, literal kiss-off that features one of the band’s most explosive choruses of their catalogue.

Hendricks talked about the track in a statement: "'Hard to Believe' is a song about being addicted to a bad relationship, and the endless cycle of trying and failing to end one. Sam wrote the guitar riff very early on in the writing process of Young Enough and we've always been obsessed with playing it because it's so insanely catchy.” Paired with the new single a charming Henry Kaplan-direct music video. The clip portrays a typical band practice and as Hendricks explains, “While we're running songs, each band-member usually has their own inner-monologue running of either things they're distracted by, or things they'd rather be doing. This video feels extremely "us" and I don't think we could have made it with anyone else." Watch it below and catch the band on tour this summer.
