LOS ANGELES, CA (August 25, 2022) — Tomorrow, Los Angeles-based alternative singer/songwriter Theo Kandel will deliver his vibey new single “Moving Slowly.” The track — carefree and dulcet, undoubtedly exhibiting Theo’s creative and catchy songwriting prowess — marks the final single from his forthcoming EP, What if it all works out in the end? (set for release on Thursday, September 22).

“I wanted to make something that was easy to listen to, drive down the PCH with the windows down, put on while at a chill party kinda vibe… that sorta thing,” shares Theo. “My big influences for this one were Dominic Fike, Tame Impala, Harry Styles (of course), Alabama Shakes, Still Woozy — you get the gist of it. Good times, baby!”
With a growing fanbase of over 125K followers, 5.5M+ streams, additions to key Spotify playlists (“Fresh Finds” and “Fresh Finds Folk”) and recent spins on KCRW, Theo has been on a roll. His pop-up performance tonight at New York City’s Flower Shop sold-out in under 10 hours, and he recently finished a string of headline shows which included stops at New York City's iconic Bowery Ballroom, a sold-out Stephen Talkhouse, and in Houston, Dallas, Boston, and Philadelphia.
Drawing fresh inspiration from various artists, Theo has molded a sound of his own, which becomes evident on What if it all works out in the end?. “My music is definitely a mishmash of all of my favorite artists, not a groundbreaking notion, but is something that’s always interesting to explore when I look back at my songs,” reveals Theo. “The new EP has a ton of influences woven throughout: the (hopefully) witty lyricism of John Prine, folk fingerpicking of James Taylor, pop punk angst of Blink-182, the chill, feel-goodness of Dominic Fike, rubber bridge and existentialism of Phoebe Bridgers, along with the dynamic production of FINNEAS; a sense of nostalgia definitely runs throughout the entire project.”
“It’s funny… my 2021 Spin Cycle EP ends up in the same place that it started, with the idea that the cycle of emotions after a breakup is inescapable, as long as you situate yourself within it,” shares Theo. “‘What if it all works out in the end?’ is different… decidedly more positive in its progression.” Detaching away from that vicious cycle of anxiety and neurosis, the new EP takes a sharp turn out of the maze. “I think that’ll become more clear as I release more songs off the project, but it definitely doesn’t finish where it started, and through the process of making it, neither did I,” he confides.
