Santa Cruz-based duo WaxFeet craft lush and soulful electronica that soothes the soul.
Their breezy new single, “Dream” is light on its feet yet substantial, feeling a bit like a Zenned-out DJ Shadow. Lo-fi piano melodies drift upon a bed of ocean ambience until they are nailed down by a spry chillhop beat. The entire composition feels as if it’s summoned from the ether, with the spacey ska vocals adding the perfect world flavor to the mellow and eclectic blend.
WaxFeet is gearing up to release an EP this Fall, followed by a full LP. If “Dream” is any indication of what we can expect, these releases will be ideal vacation companions, even if you’re simply planning on taking a break from the harsh compression of modern pop.
