Classic Pop Rock from Ceylon Sailor

Woke up this morning to this fresh tune from New York’s Ceylon Sailor; it immediately reminded me of Nada Surf in the way it bridged pop radio and indie vibes. You’ll hear dangling bits of fuzz on the guitars, rounding out the sound to soften the distortion for listeners, while the vocals drive home a melodic center that you’ll devour, at times even stretching into an emo-adjacent feel. After I keep going back here to find myself in the land of repeat listens, I can’t help but see it as the middle ground between Nada Surf and Jimmy Eat World (when they were great), and I think that’s the best place to start your day!
