The Great Perhaps, the latest album by Boy Least Likely To, is a delightful collection of indie-pop tracks that showcase the band's signature sound and lyrical prowess. From the opening track "Follow Your Heart Somewhere" to the closing number "The Dreamer Song," the album takes the listener on a journey of self-discovery and hope.
The band's use of whimsical instrumentation, including ukuleles, glockenspiels, and toy pianos, adds a playful and nostalgic touch to their music. The lyrics are introspective, reflecting on themes of love, loss, and the pursuit of happiness. The standout track "It Could've Been Me" is a poignant reflection on the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing the moments we have.
The Great Perhaps is a testament to the band's growth and evolution since their 2005 debut album, The Best Party Ever. The production is polished, and the arrangements are meticulously crafted, making for a listening experience that is both enjoyable and thought-provoking.
