Comment: If you love jangly guitars, this song is for you. Drawing from Alvvays‘ “Blue Rev ” album, this Swedish duo formed by John Dahlbäck and Erik Ljungqvist composed and self-produced a quintessential indie-rock tune that’s almost impossible to get out of your head. “morro bay” is the lead single off sad dad‘s forthcoming debut album and as any good lead single does, it leaves you wanting more.
John and Erik wrote “morro bay” to express the difficulty of a friendship ending when people start going in opposite directions. Despite the sad subject matter, the track comes accompanied by a music video that the duo had a lot of fun recording. Someone once told them they weren’t sarcastic enough, and that inspired them to make the silly video you can watch below.
Check out “Morro Bay” and see if it gets stuck in your head too! Keep sad dad on your radar – their debut album is coming soon!

Wonderful song & video! I love those jangly guitars, and it’s funny how they decided to wear those whimsical zebra masks in a snowy setting. Also interesting that they named their song “morro bay”, which is a small town on the central California coast (where my sister and her then-husband lived from 1982-84).
Yeah, the zebra masks are funny. And yes, the song’s name is interesting too. I wonder why they chose it. Maybe they lived there as well at some point.
Perhaps, but being from Sweden, it’s hard to imagine.
