“floater,” the next single from Cincinnati band tedward’s forthcoming debut album of the same name, proudly proclaims the band’s newest direction and pulls listeners along for the ride.
Clocking in at just over a minute and a half of pure energy, “floater” is the perfect song to set the tone for the rest of the album. Fully leaning into being a live trio (tedward was initially the bedroom project of vocalist/guitarist Terence Lee), the band turns the tempo up and leans heavy on the fuzz for a track that will sink its claws into your brain. The initial guitar hook combines with Lee’s sing-song vocals and creates a perfect blend that drives the song forward to an exhilarating solo for the outro. Looking ahead to the eponymous album release, “floater” is sure to be a crowd mover and a song you’ll want to turn all the way up.
