Los Angeles indie pop risers GOODTWIN return with their new single Fool, a vibrant and emotional release that turns anxious overthinking into pure dance floor release. Bright synths, pulsing bass, and intimate vocals collide to create a track that lifts listeners out of that familiar spiral of self doubt and drops them right into a moment of freedom. It is the kind of feel good alt pop that would fit perfectly on Spotify playlists such as Indie Pop, Feel Good Indie, Indie Dance Essentials, Young and Free, and Just Hits.

Fool immediately pulls the listener into a world shaped by disco shine and emotional honesty. The bassline moves with a warm groove and the synths shimmer with an irresistible pulse that inspires movement from the first note. The repeated question Did I make a fool becomes both a confession and a release, echoing the intrusive thoughts that show up when worry creeps in. As the song progresses, the lyrics offer a compassionate counter punch. Lines like Let us walk around because fresh air might help and We will not waste our time bring comfort while the production pushes the moment toward an emotional high. Inspired by the lead singer’s own battles with performance anxiety, the song transforms nervousness into a celebration of being human and learning to embrace imperfection.

According to the band, Fool has become the unofficial closing ritual of their live shows. It is the moment where the band lets go of whatever happened that night, accepts the chaos and beauty of the set, and moves forward with clarity. The music video amplifies the theme, following an uptight clown at a crowded party who slowly drops the mask and finds a sense of self as the song unfolds. The track was written by band members Gus Alexander on vocals, Denis Victorov on bass and synth, and Cameron Mehrabian on guitar, with Zac Hernandez on drums adding the final touch of rhythmic momentum.

GOODTWIN continue to carve out their own lane in the indie pop landscape. What began as a group of friends experimenting in a small Victorian apartment in San Francisco has evolved into a fully formed creative force. Their sound blends soul, funk, classic rock and modern indie production into something warm, vibrant and evergreen. Smooth vocals merge with bright guitar work, moving basslines and flashes of saxophone to create a style that feels both contemporary and timeless.

Fool is another major step forward for a band with a growing identity and a clear sense of purpose. It is vulnerable, catchy, and deeply relatable, proving that GOODTWIN know exactly how to turn emotional tension into unforgettable indie pop.
