Effortless rhythm and infectious hooks from Ludic with ‘Judge Me’.

If ‘Judge Me’ is anything to go by, we are in for some seriously good smooth alt pop from this Vancouver collective. The first single off their debut EP, out in April 2022, evolves effortlessly from acoustic ballad to all out psychedelic groove in the vein of Tame Impala without skipping a beat. The song was written about feeling lonely in a relationship and feeling like you can't do anything right. Your constant effort to try and change is not working and is instead being met with more criticism by your partner. While intended to be helpful, being constantly criticized also hurts. This track is a step forward for Ludic – while it retains the quirky and offbeat sound of their previous releases, there is an undeniable maturity that permeates their new work.
