📻 Genre: Alternative, Rock, Psychedelic

🎙¹ Lead Artist/Band: Saccades

The Single Notez 🎶:

➕ Lovely evolving pad at the onset; definitely catches the ear

➕ Gorgeous instrumental background overall on “Islands Past”; quite the vibe is cultivated, in the most alternative/psychedelic way possible

➕ Chilled-out vocals by Saccades; his subtler approach perfectly fits the alternative/psych aesthetic

➕ Nice use of an instrumental interlude of sorts, following the chorus (“Please / Just / Let me dream…”)

➕ Brilliant contrast on the second verse; the instrumental pulls back, allowing more space for the vocals and more space in general

➕ Excellent songwriting; love the trippy nature of the lyrics, coupled with the colorful backdrop

➖ Cons? What cons?

Memorable lyric:

“Please
Just
Let me dream
I’m older
now
And I can’t
Change.”
