Strange Pilgrim Release Through the Branches

It seems that guitar pop has fallen behind some of the modern trends of late, with bedroom pop and shoegaze-ish sounds dominating coverage. But, there was a time when acts like Woods and Real Estate dominated playlists, and for their part, Strange Pilgrim are carrying that torch, especially with this incredible new single. It opens with this ray of sunshine, hitting jangling notes before shedding this incredible warmth upon the listener. A steady soothing vocal runs its course, feeling like a crisp Summer breeze, offering just the slightest cool to your day. You’ll find some really special moments awaiting in the tune’s latter half as the melodies and arrangements blow the whole thing open. Really loving this tune, and looking forward to Too Bright Planet, out September 26th via Royal Oakie.
