The Impliers
Is comedy and music a relationship between strange bedfellows? I’ve never thought so but it’s pretty rare that music makes me laugh with the exception of Tenacious D. I was pleasantly surprised when watching Lonely Meets The Only by The Impliers. From the outset, it's evident that this ensemble possesses a knack for blending legitimate comedic acting with their musical abilities.
Their portrayal of suburban dads within the accompanying video is nothing short of commendable, injecting a fresh vitality into the comedic landscape. Delving deeper, the band's exploration of romantic love unveils a vulnerability seldom showcased within contemporary songwriting.
According to the band they draw inspiration from the blue-eyed soul of the 80s with shades of Hall and Oates and Steely Dan. While the song itself harks back to the infectious pop melodies of the 80s, a subtle undercurrent of irony pervades, ensuring that attentive listeners are rewarded with a nuanced layer of humor.
It's a testament to The Impliers' craftsmanship that they seamlessly blend the familiar with the unexpected, resulting in a track that's both catchy and delightfully tongue-in-cheek. Though the humor may not immediately reveal itself to those solely indulging in the auditory experience, the accompanying visuals serve as a gateway to the band's comedy
Lonely Meets The Only leaves me eagerly anticipating future offerings from The Impliers. In essence, this single encapsulates a fusion of humor and wholesomeness. With each meticulously crafted element, The Impliers prove themselves as purveyors of comedic music that's as endearing as it is entertaining.
