Madrid's Baywaves have shared the shimmering indie pop gem 'Down 4 U'.
The band are part of the Spanish city's sprawling DIY community, a series of collectives, musicians, and other wayfaring dreamers.
Making waves – pardon the pun – in this country, the group have shared new single 'Down 4 U' ahead of an extensive tour.
Shimmering indie pop with a sunshine feel, the faint, nagging melancholy is reminiscent of Real Estate or Ducktails yet with a unique slant.
Baywaves explain: "This song was recorded during the same sessions as our previous single Gliss. It was a great studio experience as each song asked for a completely different approach; while Gliss was more like a punchy, live show-oriented song, 'Down 4 U' is a mellow, yachty pop love song."
"We spent more time geeking with vintage synths and keys, perfecting the vocal effects and working on the arrangements with Hans Krüger at his studio, with Jarvis Taveniere then giving it the perfect mix between ethereality and groove. We are really excited as its release marks the beginning of a European/UK tour and we can't wait to share it with everyone."
Tune in now.
