worlds greatest dad – “KO”

Five years ago, the Atlanta band worlds greatest dad released their debut album get well soon, a collection of effectively evocative emo tracks, including the standout “a song for mogis,” which we highlighted in our best songs of the week list. They haven’t put out anything since then, but make a grand return today with “KO,” a sparkling new single about depressive cycles that feel all too mundane: “And music just makes me mad now/ And none of my friends ever wanna hangout,” Maddie Duncan sings in the chorus. “Yeah, I know it could be worse I know it’s not that bad, but it still hurts.”
