The Perfect Storm shares a dose of pure emotional alchemy on their latest single, "We Fell in Love. " It's a glorious, wistful throwback cushioned in the velvety sheen of modern alt-pop. The Capital District trio, who recently dropped their highly praised debut album, "Maiden Voyage," doesn't waste a second affirming why they're among 2025's most talked-about up-and-coming acts. "We Fell in Love" is not only the soundtrack to spring but a reminder that love, like great music, often finds us when we're not looking for it.
Frontman James Krakat's vocals slide easily over sun-soaked guitars, and Matty Kirtoglou's drums thump with a heart-on-sleeve urgency. Ethan Lynch's bass playing anchors the song's wide-eyed wonder in something mixed with the sweet of nostalgia. And then there's the cherry on top. Their genre-blurring sound, a mix of alt-pop shimmer, classic rock warmth, and a tiny bit of alt-country storytelling, sounds wholly their own. Just three friends stumbled upon something special in the middle of a weird world and tried to bottle it.
"We Fell in Love" is like thumbing through a Polaroid photo album of a romance that flourished when nobody was watching. There's an easy magic to it, a harmony-drenched, toe-tapping groove that sounds like it stumbled in from another decade and never went home. The song is light-footed but heavy in emotion, painting momentous montages of the kind of hopeful, butterflies-in-stomach romance that comes out of nowhere and rocks you. What turns "We Fell in Love" into something more than a catchy springtime anthem is the heart at the center of it. This is no ordinary love song but an instant, preserved. It's that moment of clarity where you know everything has changed, and perhaps you're standing at the dawn of something big.
