Rising indie rock band Krooked Kings have released new single “Parking Lot.” The track is an ode to the honeymoon phase of love, showcasing the band’s signature blend of heartfelt storytelling and anthemic energy — the kind of music fans can’t help but sing at the top of their lungs.
“”Parking Lot” is a romantic daydream; the imagining of what a future life with a new crush could look like. Which can be sort of embarrassing but also a very fun thing to get swept up in,” keyboardist David Macey says, “For the band it was very local, we can all picture the bar, parking lot, etc. in Salt Lake City that the song is happening at. Still, listeners will instantly be able to paint this song into their own local dive with their own intense crush.”
Alongside Macey, the band is composed of Oli Martin (vocals and guitar), Paul Colgan (guitar), Matt Monosson (bass), and Quinn Casper (drums). Krooked Kings have built a reputation for blending thoughtful songwriting with indie rock textures that feel both familiar and fresh. Influenced by artists like The Strokes, Bon Iver, and Peach Pit, the band’s sound lands somewhere between introspective and anthemic.
“Parking Lot” feels like driving with the windows down, dancing in the rain, and falling in love for the first time — breezy, euphoric, and instantly relatable. Produced by Yves Rothman (Blondshell, Yves Tumor), the song serves as a bright counterpoint to the band’s recent single “Rancher’s Daughter,” which explored themes of unrequited love.
