This Dublin based band (yes... another band from the UK! Something in the air there makes people musically amazing..) first made waves under their old band name, 21 Demands, with a chart topping single in 2007, but reformed in 2011 as Kodaline. The album is full of incredible acoustic rock jams that sounds kind of like what One Republic would sound like is they turned folk. Every song is one you can either sing along to at the top of your lungs or just relax and mellow out to. Pretty perfect combo, in my opinion!
My favorite track from In A Perfect World is All Comes Down. It gives me tingles down my spine every time. The soft acapella beginning builds with some piano and simple percussion, which leads into stadium ready guitars and it all culminates into one epic sing-along that would close out any concert in the most incredible way. Check it out here.
There are so many other tracks on this album that are amazing, it is hard to pick which to highlight. Their current single making its rounds right now is titled All I Want. The song starts soft and builds into a nice, powerful rock song by the end. Definitely worth a listen, but my other favorite track I wanted to post is Way Back When. This upbeat, folk rock track about living life and having fun doing it, and living without regrets is the perfect way to brighten up your day. Remind yourself not to take life too seriously as you listen to it below!
Follow the band on Facebook or catch them on tour in the US in February! I will be at their show at The Casbah in San Diego if you care to join! All my favorite tracks of theirs will be on the Audible Twilight Best of 2013 Playlist on Spotify for your listening pleasure!
Enjoy! <3
