If the Gin Blossoms had cut their teeth on Texas dive bars and turned up the gain on their amps, the result would be Brandon Kruger. Serving up a new take on a miserable experience, "Northern Lights" showcases a vocal twang of Texas, blended seamlessly with the sound of classic 90's alternative radio rock. The song unfolds as a confessional narrative, with Brandon singing about the realization that his ex has moved on comfortably, while he navigates the challenges of barely making ends meet on the road as a touring musician. A tinge of honest regret in the lyrics adds a layer of vulnerability to the track, but it is swiftly nullified by Kruger's unwavering determination to carve out a successful path in the music industry. His steadfast drive resonates throughout the song, creating a powerful dynamic that captures the essence of resilience in the face of heartbreak. This story is set to a soundtrack of overdriven guitars and steady drums, letting Brandon's sharp Texan drawl sit front and center. Brandon's ability to infuse raw emotion into his lyrics while maintaining a robust, energetic musical arrangement makes "Northern Lights" a no-brainer add to a Y'allternative playlist. The smoky bars of Texas might be the natural habitat for Brandon Kruger, but he seems destined to shine like the Northern Lights.
