Making a new track sound like an indie-rock classic is a pretty hard job, so hats off to The Heavenly States for creating ‘Model Son’, an infectious toe-tapper that sounds like everyone’s favourite songs combined into one joyous mix. Singer Ted Nesseth’s vocals are nicely offset by the powerhouse drumming and upbeat guitar racket. ‘Model Son’ is as feel-good a song can get whilst remaining effortlessly cool and simple. A brilliant comeback for The Heavenly States, and the first part in a series of EPs that will surely be as excellent as this track. ‘Model Son’ is featured on The Heavenly States’ forthcoming ‘Oui Camera Oui’ EP, released April 19 on Hippies Are Dead Records.
