All the snow has finally melted, baseball is here, and some decent movies are finally starting to hit theaters. Summer is around the corner. We’ll be ready for it with songs as bright and hopeful as “Drag” the truly incredible new song from Oakland’s Day Wave. It’s the project of Jackson Phillips, one half of the California-based electro-pop duo Carousel.
“Drag” showcases a youthful spirit that shine bright with sun-drenched melodies that capture every bit of the “dream-pop” genre. Jangly guitars and vocals that call to mind Beach Fossils with some of The Drums beachy vocal calls in the background. If you’re a fan of either of those artists (if you read this blog, you probably are), then you’re going to absolutely adore “Drag.” There’s a universal feeling that it evokes, instantly capturing your attention and never letting go. It’s one of the best songs of 2015 so far.
Enjoy “Drag” below.
