The second single from Toronto-based band The Breakables, “Local Radio Sunday Proud” melds harmonious rock and intriguing chamber-pop elements with cathartic impact. “Told his mother he can’t get stuck,” the vocals ring out during an escalating hook, fondly representative of the track’s thematic aim — which, per the band, “captures the melancholy and bliss of leaving home as a young adult, soundtracked by varied instrumentation that spans genres.”
The title-touting, “windows down,” sense of relief in the central chorus is especially stirring — exuding a power-pop warmness that entices replays. The frolicking instrumentation and melodic vocal savvy follows seamlessly into a lushly inviting send-off. “Local Radio Sunday Proud” is a memorable showing from The Breakables, for certain.
