Trudging guitar jangles and a valiant vocal lead ignite Love Crumbs‘ new track “Cavalcades”. While the verses chug along with a meditative calmness, the chorus cathartically erupts like a soaring spring of hope. Conceived while Black Lives Matter protests lined the streets this past summer following George Floyd’s death, the track’s exalting organ adds texturally richness to a righteous soundscape that serves as a sonic processional.
“Cavalcades” is familiar enough in its melodic structure to invite a sing-along feel, but stick around for the heady bridge at 2:55 which transforms the melody’s somber acceptance into a resilient empowerment. Lyrics like “we’re moving forward, and you’re moving backward, step aside”, call to recharge on the optimism that morality will bend toward justice. Rejuvenating.
