Before we leave you to dig into the new track, here’s a word from the band as to what ‘Oh My God’ means to them:
“A song about confronting ego, trying to improve your cognitive thinking and mental health. It was originally written in the summer of 2020, before our first album had even come out. And we’ve actually played it at every live show we’ve ever played! To us it kind of feels like the most “Litvar” song, does all of the things we like to do, melodic verses, huge choruses, choppy electronic effects.”
