The Irony of Being ‘Lonely Together’: A Dive into SadBois’ Defining EP

July 28, 2023 By Chad Downs

At the intersection of contemporary emotion and age-old human experiences, we find SadBois with their blend of rocktronic and melodic bass. It’s a world where bass music meets pop punk, painting vast canvases of raw feeling.

Lonely Together, an EP slated for release under Flux Pavilion’s Circus Electric, promises an exploration of the multifaceted experience of loneliness. The irony is palpable: coming together, in a united expression of isolation. Each track is a testament to the band’s mastery over their craft. The fusion in “Lonely Nights,” the raw tug of “Worst Day Ever,” and the sheer power of “What It Feels Like” make for a potent mix. “Bringing Me Back,” a collaborative endeavor with ARNHEMIA, acts as a beacon, its style guiding the listener through the dark corridors of what it truly means to have an internal struggle.

Post their 2022 release “Something New,” SadBois seem to be on a trajectory that is as fast-rising as it is fascinating. Their shared stages with likes of ARMNHMR and Said The Sky, and releases under prolific labels, serve as evidence that they’ve found their way sonically.

In the vast sea of electronic music, they’ve carved a niche for themselves, mastering the art of blending genres and emotions. As we wait for more from this dynamic trio, one can’t help but reflect on the genius of their title: we are all, in some way, “Lonely Together.”
