Beach Vacation - maritime EP (Dufflecoat)

Seattle's Beach Vacation score with this atmospheric set of indie pop songs. Jingle jangle guitar and intricate melodies backed by breathy vocals all add up to some seriously lovely pop tunes. "Stay a while" is probably my favourite, from its faded in intro you know you are in for something special. Its tricky, its urgent, vocals seem to waft in from an early morning sea fog, and then its over suddenly. Like all of the best pop moments you go from ecstasy to a void in mere moments.

The instrumental "Waves" is also worth some attention, dreamy twanging guitars drift in across a mysterious soundscape. "Escape" has a lovely multi-part melody and relaxed vocals. Brilliant pop moments from start to finish. Available on CD from Dufflecoat Records soon or digitally now via Bandcamp.
