Hype Machine-topping single “Anxieties” was a slice of blissed out British pop that came with the goods to back its meteoric rise. The newcomers have returned with a trippy little ditty that showcases their calming voices and penchant for soothing melodies.
Though “Pale Blue” sounds sort of like elevator music from Mars, there is something endearing about the earnest falsetto and pulsating drum machine. Interestingly enough, as the song moves along it wears out its electronic influence, turning into an acoustic lounge space odyssey through the stars. Half Mario Paint, half Kings of Convenience, all glorious warmth and color.
The combo kind of has a spiritual bent going on and it is nice to hear from such a baby band. One hopes to see more signs of this on their “We Are” EP which will be out digitally on May 13th.
