Oh Buddy!’s vibrant and unique indie-pop flair saw their debut make serious waves, with each new single cementing their place as rising stars. Based in Nashville and LA, lifelong creative partners Conor Kelly and Chase Bader bring synergy to their music, having previously formed the lauded band Waker over a decade ago, now crossing creative paths once again. Teaming up with Grammy-winning producer Nick Lobel, Oh Buddy! itself has already caught the attention of Grand Wagoneer and Amazon through their collaboration with sync agency Ghostwriter, carving their path in the industry
Their third and latest single ‘Disappear’ brings a boundless sense of love-drenched nostalgia and the glow of hazy summer memories. Soulful vocals take the listener’s hand, guiding them on a journey of subtle guitar rhythms, airy, glittery synth pads and the occasional extra melodic twinkle. Embracing the influences of pop eras gone by, bringing a new and cinematic viewpoint, ‘Disappear’ just feels easy to listen to, with each element of the instrumentation falling into place. It feels so natural, so delicate, so loving, it’s a moment to appreciate and cling to as it swirls and enchants.
The pair comment, “Disappear is a song we started writing during the pandemic inspired by a long-distance relationship. The message became about overcoming the adversity of the distance and how you find little ways to stay in touch and grow a connection. The song has taken many forms over the years, but this is the one that feels the most complete and true to the original emotions of the song when we wrote it in 2020. We knew the idea was special, but it took some time for us to mature and grow as artists to bring it to its fullest potential.
It’s a song about escaping the stress of everyday life and cherishing those sweet, simple moments with someone you love. It’s a subtle, yet profound idea, and we wanted to create something that feels like a breath of fresh air, where you can let the world disappear and just be in the moment. These days, that can be a tall order, but we really hope ‘Disappear’ resonates with others the way it does with us.”
