With “Fingers Crossed,” the latest single from the Georgia Flood’s upcoming album, Polaroids and Panic Attacks, Atlanta brothers and bandmates Brooks Mason and Lane Kelly once again display their ability to blur the lines between genres while blending the often conflicting worlds of radio-friendly alt-pop and music that’s more complex and compelling. Driven by a head-bopping groove and a tight rhythm section, “Fingers Crossed” teases listeners with sounds of classic R&B, funk, and good old-fashioned rock ‘n roll, polished to perfection and coated in a heavy glaze of pop sensibility. It’s a tried-and-true formula that’s familiar enough to warrant the first listen, but it’s what lies beneath—a dedication to honest and infectious songwriting, the kind that moves people from the inside out and gets hands clapping and hips shaking—that puts it on repeat.
Give it a listen below.
The Georgia Flood will perform on Thu., Aug. 9 at Smith’s Olde Bar alongside RIVVRS and Paul McDonald. Doors at 7 p.m. Admission is $10 advanced, $13 DOS, $60 VIP. 18+ to enter.
