This cut from PHOX first crossed our radar as a standout on their Confetti video-EP, and now it returns for the Baraboo, Wisconsin band’s debut LP. Recorded in their home state at Justin Vernon’s April Base Studio in Eau Claire, producer Brian Joseph kept the EP’s DIY charisma intact, building a warm, whimsical arrangement around the group’s Feist-ian lead vocalist, Monica Martin. As with previous efforts, this is the perfect midweek shot in the arm of upbeat charm. The self-titled album drops on June 24th via Partisan Records.
