Holy hell, I was not expecting this! The sunny pop-influenced Beach Bunny is one of the most exciting new rock bands to come out lately. Led by dynamic frontwoman Lili Trifilio, they are currently jumping out of speakers with the amazing \u201cDream Boy\u201d and look to a bright and rewarding future. Their debut, all twenty-five minutes of it, is nothing but a sheer delight. From the opening jangle of \u201cPromises,\u201d the band is in full control of their sound and utilizes their youth and talent to the utmost degree, putting a lot of older bands to shame with their melodies, songwriting, and sheer exuberance.<\/p>\n
When listening to songs like \u201cApril,\u201d it\u2019s clear that Trifilio and company have studied the playbook of Best Coast. With bright, sunny melodies and lyrics about heartbreak and growing up, not to mention the lo-fi qualities of the guitarwork and the shimmering vocals, Beach Bunny has been able to co-opt the Best Coast book and make it theirs; they stand out on their own as a result. The sounds of \u201cMs. California\u201d throws me back to a female indie rock singer-songwriter vibe I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve heard like this since the \u201890s, and it\u2019s a very good feeling to hear this again in a modern setting. I don\u2019t think it can be said enough, but this is going to be a band you\u2019re going to want to keep up with because their future looks very bright.<\/p>\n
The power and uniqueness of \u201cDream Boy\u201d is what brought me to the band in the first place. It\u2019s the type of song I hope I never get tired of hearing, it\u2019s just that good. Powerful and heavy with amazing lyrics, it\u2019s one of those tracks that makes you hit repeat over and over again. Just do it; you\u2019ll be pleased with yourself. <\/p>\n
The sprightliness of \u201cColorblind\u201d really showcases the work of the rest of the band, guitarist Matt Henkels, bassist Anthony Vaccaro, and drummer Jon Alvarado and allows it to be known how great musicians they really are and what they bring to the band as a result.<\/p>\n
Even when the band slows down the tempo and goes for the quiet balladry of \u201cRacetrack,\u201d it doesn\u2019t feel out of place. Everything feels like it should be right where it is. Even though there are \u00a0only nine songs here, you feel satisfied at its completion and one is ultimately rewarded with one of the most interesting and excellent records of the year. This is definitely a band with a bright future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":91,"featured_media":34010,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[10487],"rating":[5613],"class_list":["post-45839","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-beach-bunny","rating-rating-a-minus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/91"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45839\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34010"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=45839"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=45839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
