No Vacation: “Estrangers”
Dream pop? Sure. Shades of Beach House. A kind of washed out, medium tempo conspires with reverbed guitar melodies to create a bittersweet atmosphere. Watch for the violins in the latter half of our highlighted track “Estrangers,” which are all about maximizing the mellow beat. Like disco violins of yore beefing up the skeletal frame of the latest dance hit. Sub out the coke, sub in Xanax, or maybe just a little weed to roll your own beachside. Keep it under your hat or it’ll blow away.
