The Soods - Astrid (Drive Away Slowly)

Grotesqualizer

Check out whipped slacker psychedelia with a sip of ‘90s in the latest tune of Michigan collective The Soods, released ahead of their self-titled EP due out on May 3.

“On “Astrid (Drive Away Slowly),” the folky, floating, repetitive guitars, ornate with wavy bass passages, seem to germinate the music for a special, colorful freeze-frame. The lively vocal broadcast provides a certain atmospheric, conceptual outline. This laconic track is absorbing with its serenely perky, proto-summer temperament.
