‘12.34’ by The Band Camino | Single Review
November 10 2025 | Written By Carmel Corpe
The Band CAMINO once again proves why their alt-pop sound stands out. The Nashville-based trio, Jeffery Jordan, Spencer Stewart and Garrison Burgess, have built on their third studio album, NeverAlway, with the track ‘12:34.’ They maintain their pop catchiness and recognisable song structure, but also head in a new direction with indie pop and soft rock production. The intro guitar riffs echo post-grunge, marking a fresh avenue for The Band CAMINO in pop. Even as they explore new musical territory, their signature style remains: Jeff sings the verses while Spencer delivers the chorus.
Lyrically, the song explores the theme of superstition in relationships. In the first verse, Jeffery sings about motifs such as four-leaf clovers, picking rose petals and breaking wishbones. Spencer breaks these superstitions with lines like, “It's 12:34 and I'm outside your apartment/ Only have sixty seconds to line up our stars/ I couldn't wait any longer, so I'm here at your door/ I missed 11:11, I'll wish on 12:34.” The lyrics play with tension and release; the anxiety of a new relationship, relying on superstition for things to go right, and finally, the relief that comes when you arrive at someone's door at the wrong time, but go in anyway and no longer rely on the superstition.
