Okay, so Koyal just hit us with the perfect soundtrack for all those "ugh, but it's fine" moments in life, and honestly, we’re living for it. Their new single, “bummer song,” is such a vibe—a sweet little ode to friendship wrapped up in chill acoustic feels. It’s like when your day takes a turn for the worse (think wet socks in the kitchen), but instead of sulking, you just laugh, shake it off, and keep going. That’s exactly what this track gives—good vibes, even when things aren't so great.


These three, Pooja, Noah, and Henry, aren’t just a band—they’re besties who’ve been through it all together, from their college days in Atlanta to chasing their dreams across the country. Their music is basically a reflection of that tight-knit bond. "bummer song" is Henry’s baby, written after bombing an exam (we’ve all been there, right?) but finding solace in the support of his friends. It’s all about how life’s small mess-ups don’t stand a chance when you’ve got people who’ve got your back.


And if you haven’t seen the video yet, go watch it ASAP. It’s pure serotonin. Imagine running around NYC, hitting Coney Island, chilling at a cozy house upstate, and dealing with a water snake (yes, seriously) in a park—all while not taking anything too seriously. It’s got that goofy, light-hearted energy that just makes you want to hang out with these three IRL.

But here’s the kicker—this track is just a teaser for what’s coming. Koyal’s new album breathe in. breathe out drops February 28, and it’s all about shedding fears and living authentically. Pooja said it best: this record is gonna make you dance and think, which feels like the ultimate combo. Recorded in Philly (shoutout Dr. Dog’s studio), it’s their biggest project yet, blending their signature indie pop/rock vibe with fresh, bold energy. Noah’s super hyped about how much meditation went into finding the right sound for this one, and it shows. From what we’ve heard so far, it’s clear this album is going to hit all the right notes.


So yeah, Koyal’s gearing up to make major waves, and we’re so here for it. If you’re into artists who are real, fun, and unapologetically themselves, this trio is about to be your new obsession. Pre-order breathe in. breathe out now, and trust, you don’t want to miss what they’ve got coming next.
