It’s never a bad time to hear that one of our favorite Vancouver indie rock bands releases new music. This is even better when it’s a song that will radiate through you in the most perfect way possible. Said The Whale released their new track entitled “Sweetheart” on Thursday, Sept 23rd. Earlier this week they teased us by only given a very brief, twelve-second clip, we are left wondering what the echoing vocals and quick changes in pitch will produce in a whole song.
Now after releasing 2 studio albums Islands Disappear and Honey Lungs in 2019, they are back for more as “Sweetheart” is here. As the symphony is the background starts as vocalist Ben Worcester begins the song with the line “Sweethearts ain’t nothing” while the music begins to build into a real catchy song.

Don’t let the first bit of the song fool you, once again Said The Whale has found a way to blend the artistic and musical traits together to create a soon-to-be sing-along song. The work for this band hasn’t stopped there. From merch collabs with Vancouver-based skateboard company Landyachtz, STW has found a way to not only entice their fanbase with groovy tunes but some slick-looking merch as well.

If you thought this band couldn’t offer us anymore just wait, On October 22nd the band sets to release their 7th studio album called Dandelion. On their social media accounts, it looks to be released with the same photo used for their latest song “Sweetheart” that has been accompanied by five others on what looks to be an EP release. With a combined 573,283 plays so far on just Spotify alone their full album looks set to be a success.
A quick listen to the most popular song so far of the songs paired with “Sweetheart” is another instantly catchy song called “Honey Lungs”. It’s no question after hearing this tune for two seconds that you can see why it would be popular with the current generations. Driving, dancing, or even the last few beach nights, this song will pair well with most current events.
