New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Cardiac Half explore the sometimes dramatic consequences of everyday decisions on their infectious (no pun intended) new single & video " Medicine". The song channels themes of internal struggle, doubt and ultimately redemption - with a video that introduces the viewer to the bands post-apocalyptic cinematic universe.
Alt-pop outfit Cardiac Half is anything but half-hearted. Siblings Drew and Dylan Miller form the duo, and have been making music together since 2016. The name Cardiac Half holds significant meaning as Dylan lives with a heart condition, and Drew is deaf in his left ear. The group's latest single sees them exploring a darker, more mature side of the alt-pop songwriting spectrum. Electronic soundscapes and eerie vocal delivery mesh with a singalong worthy chorus and radio ready production to create an offering that will feel familiar but not derivative. Fans of The 1975, LANY, CHVRCHES and Imagine Dragons will all find the perfect dose of these influences within " Medicine", while also being introduced to a band that is clearly beginning to find their own sound.
"We wanted the song to be open to interpretation for the listener. Perhaps it could be a song about the risk of romance and letting someone get close, maybe not trusting people. For us personally, 'Medicine' represents critical choices that we'll be faced with throughout our lives and the repercussions of those choices. Every action has a consequence, positive or negative. There's an internal struggle between good and evil that we tried to portray within the post-apocalyptic universe of the song and video." - Cardiac Half on the message of their new single.
" Medicine" is the Cardiac Half brand of alt-pop at its most dark and haunting. Mixing elements of radio friendly electronic pop with the more diverse palette of synth based alternative, the band proves that they are able to write music with a wide appeal without sacrificing their identity. The band will continue to release music throughout 2020; expanding on the story told in the " Medicine" video and introducing their audience to an original songwriting and visual concept.
