Song of the Day - Do You Mind?

Today's song of the day comes from American indie-pop band Pacific Air. They are a duo of brothers who formed under the moniker KO KO in 2012, though changed their name to Pacific Air as other people were using the KO KO name. They have released one full album, called Stop Talking, which despite it's relatively small commercial success got rave reviews from critics.

This is Lose My Mind:

So What's So Good?

Lose My Mind is aptly named, as it's easy to drift away listening to this song. It's a dreamy song which relies on simple melodies and tight vocal harmonies. It's like a musical version of a day on the beach - it's relaxing and tranquil; so much so that you can practically hear the waves crashing.

This is not a song for an upbeat moment, this is a song for the summer. Imagine a relaxing day in the sunshine and that's what the song is like - I can't describe it more that that without you hearing it.

The chorus is a clever hook, using the vocals to introduce the radiant guitars and synths coming through in the background. It's clever yet simple, a perfect and succinct way to describe this tune.

Pacific Air are a band to look out for. They are young and up-and-coming and they make some clever, radiant tunes with surprising subtlety and depth. Lose My Mind is a perfect song for a sunny day - so don't expect to understand if you live in Manchester.
