Sooner or later, it was bound to happen—Carrying Torches have captured everyone’s attention again with their new single, Good in Blue. It’s the kind of track that’s hard to ignore. A stylish alt-rock sound with a bright rhythm and untamed energy grabs you from the very first beat. This might just be their strongest work yet, and honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes their calling card.

The song’s backbone is its steady, metronome-like drums—they push the whole sound forward, creating a solid foundation. Against this backdrop, the keys weave captivating melodies, while the guitars add a touch of modern flair. The vocals, bold and unguarded, stand out not only for their performance but for their genuine emotional clarity. Good in Blue has a vibrant pop-rock vibe, but here’s what I’ve noticed: every Carrying Torches track always carries a hint of melancholy, subtle but unmistakable. It’s like a light autumn rain that surprises you on a hot summer day. The melancholy doesn’t weigh you down; it seeps in, leaving a trace of introspection.

The music video deserves special mention. Honestly, I’d call it a mini-movie. Cornfield shots, a strange, uneasy atmosphere, and then—an alien invasion. Yes, a direct nod to Signs and a few other cult classics. But it also has its own unique mood that keeps your eyes glued to the screen. Seriously, it’s so well-crafted that you’ll want to rewatch it just to catch more of the details.

Carrying Torches continue to surprise—their music is maturing, becoming more layered, and Good in Blue is another massive leap forward for them as a band. They’re definitely staying on my radar because it’s clear they still have plenty of surprises in store.
