Oklahoma - "Ballerina" | Sunday Single

Over the course of the past year, Oklahoma has proven themselves to be capable of many facets of indie rock. The few singles released ahead of debut record Fever Dream had the band showing off their ability to make up-tempo bops. Now, with "Ballerina," they've gone into slow-burn mode. Instead of the Killers, they're embodying a different band that hit it big in 2006 - Snow Patrol. Down to the gentle melody that starts the song, this is Oklahoma's "Chasing Cars." They nail the quiet-loud-quiet dynamic between verses and chorus. Both resonate with a potent dose of romance and emotion. It seems that the band is set to capture the sound of the mid-aughts in a bottle, like a firefly, with Fever Dream. Personally, I'm excited to see what their version of "Kids" sounds like.

Fever Dream, featuring "Ballerina" and more, is out this Friday, Oct. 4.
