TYDY – Scallion Pancake Adventure (2022)

Have you ever wanted to listen to a song that is as engaging as a fun epic movie with all the characters and quests this entails? Well, you are in the right place because that is exactly what TYDY have to offer with their 9-minute genre-defying single ‘Scallion Pancake Adventure’. Traversing the land of rock, the single tells the tale of two knights on a quest to find the greatest food they have ever eaten, spotting at an eclectic mix of restaurants and meeting new characters along the way.

A true musical experience, the single draws on buddy comedy movies and the music of Frank Zappa and Weird Al. Tyler Kamen and Dylan Bressler wrote their first song together when they were 8 and since then, most of them have been about food. Using their love of rock, they craft extremely interesting songs that take you on fun adventures.

‘Scallion Pancake Adventure’ has a really light and fun opening that transitions into changing channels and spoken-word vocals and explosions. After this incredibly interesting opening, the pulse of rock guitars has you rocking out. You will feel yourself bopping around to the rock sounds of the guitar and the beats that roll through your senses. The first swing in genre and style happens when the duo hit the first restaurant of the story and you get the twang of country rock. The heavier rock tones make a comeback between the visits to the different restaurants. The swings in melodic styles are wonderful and perfectly match the story of the lyrics. The use of different styles for each restaurant is amazing and perfectly brings the uniqueness of each place to life.

While the movement of the melody is really epic as it showcases the versatility of the duo, it is the vocals that really hook you to the single. From the opening conversation between the duo to the back and forth between them as they quest for some scallion pancakes. During the heavier rock tones, their vocals have this great punch to them. Their vocal versatility is on full display throughout the single as they change from heavy rock to country to bluesy-gospel to synth-pop and everything in between. The epic swings not only keep you hooked to the single but also get you seriously invested in the quest they are on to eat some pancakes.

TYDY take us on an epic adventure in search of food traversing various genres and showcasing the versatility of their music in ‘Scallion Pancake Adventure’. You won’t notice how long the single is because you will end up fully invested in their journey and maybe feel a hankering for some pancakes yourself.
