Chandra craft positivity and anthemic Pop Rock energy on EP, "Lifted"
Bristol-based pop-rock quartet Chandra has officially launched their debut EP Lifted, and it’s everything fans could have hoped for—an exuberant collection of six tracks that overflow with energy, positivity, and the kind of infectious melodies that make you want to hit repeat.
After a series of five singles that have been steadily gaining acclaim from April 2023 to July 2024, Lifted compiles these beloved tracks and introduces a new song, "Overload," into the mix. The result is a cohesive, feel-good EP that’s perfect for any time of day, whether you’re looking to start your morning with a boost or end your day on a high note.
From the opening track "Smile (No Fox Gibbon)," it’s clear that Chandra has achieved what they set out to do: create a collection of songs that tell an uplifting story of the human condition. The band’s dynamic vocals and bright guitar work set the tone for an EP that is as passionate as it is fun-loving. "Pretty" and "I’ll Be There" continue the momentum, showcasing the band’s knack for crafting catchy, anthemic tunes that stick in your head long after the music stops.
The title track, "Lifted," is the heart of the EP—an invigorating anthem that perfectly encapsulates the EP’s overall vibe. It’s a song that makes you feel like you can take on the world, with its soaring choruses and undeniable energy. "Lighters To The Sky" in its EP version adds a layer of nostalgia and unity, the kind of song that you can imagine being sung by a crowd, hands raised, in the middle of a summer festival.
The newest addition, "Overload," is a standout moment, bringing a fresh intensity to the EP. It’s a track that perfectly rounds out the collection, leaving you buzzing and invigorated, just as the band intended. We’re not sure how exactly they’ve cooked these songs up, but let us tell you, there’s some real magic going on behind the scenes!
Lifted is an exceptional debut that cements Chandra as a band to watch in the pop-rock scene. The EP is bright, passionate, and above all, fun—a perfect soundtrack for summer drives, spontaneous adventures, or simply when you need a boost of good vibes. It’s clear that Chandra poured their hearts into this project, and the result is nothing short of electrifying.
