Cut The Kids In Half have kicked open the doors to 2024 with their poignant debut single, “Song of Two Humans.” Serving as the first taste of their upcoming album, What We Became (out January 31), the track is a hauntingly beautiful dive into the chaos of a fractured relationship, wrapped in shimmering guitars and introspective lyricism.
From the opening chords, “Song of Two Humans” pulls listeners into its evocative world—where love and turmoil collide in equal measure. Brightly toned guitars cut through the haze, offering a sharp contrast to the song’s aching themes. The band leans into a dreamlike atmosphere, letting the melody wander with a bittersweet elegance while the lyrics tell a story of connection lost and found again in fleeting moments.
There’s an unshakable cinematic quality here, as if the song itself were lifted from a film reel of love and longing. The vocals—raw yet deliberate—carry an emotional weight that lingers long after the last note fades. Fans of bands like Manchester Orchestra and The Appleseed Cast will find themselves at home in the song’s swells and sighs, but Cut The Kids In Half carve their own space, balancing vulnerability with a keen sense of melody.
As an introduction to What We Became, “Song of Two Humans” sets a high bar—an intimate yet expansive offering that hints at a debut album brimming with depth. If this first single is any indication, Cut The Kids In Half are about to make a lasting mark on the alternative rock landscape.
