Consuming with its growth from subdued twangs into anthemic soaring, “Tenderness” is a new track from Salt Lake City-based band Dad Bod. Hazy, suave guitar twangs and subdued vocals guide the initial verses, crafting a quaintly effective sense of momentum. The culmination is fully satiating; the chorus soars with a timeless effervescence and outpouring emotion. The warming pad-forward backing and guitar glistening accompany enjoyably, gearing toward a steady psych-pop build in the final minute+, touting a hypnotic glow. The beautiful “Tenderness” is a convincing success from Dad Bod.
Also recently released, “Pages (Am I doing right by you?)” further showcases the band’s consuming songwriting and ’70s nostalgia, sweeping production:
