Brand New Track from Tourist Dollars

Leave a comment

touristBeen giving a lot of love to the Melbourne area lately, so why pull back on that glorious city of good tunes and good vibes? Today we’ve got a new track from Tourist Dollars, and while they’ve got some sonic similarities to their local peers, they seem to be taking on a slightly different approach musically. There’s much more focus on melody, even with gentle whistling serving to fill in when necessary; it’s also a bit more relaxed in progression, allowing the band to maximize their pop efforts. This is our second chance to hear what’s coming from their forthcoming debut EP, slated for release later this year via Deaf Ambitions.

Tourist Dollars is my Tuesday Jam

touristdollarsWhen this track first played upon my speakers, I thought that the vocals resembled the longing in the voice of Tim Cohen (Fresh & Onlys/Magic Trick). And, that’s all well and good, as Tim’s one of my favorites, but the music of Tourist Dollars is far different, playing upon the cleaner realm of shoegaze and shimmering indiepop. There’s that circular progression in the guitars, leaving plenty of space for the vocals to soar brightly in the front of the track. For now, this is just a one off single the band have released while they work on their forthcoming debut, slated for a 2016 release.
