The 12-string jangle has that lovely, lived-in quality that comes from actually understanding why Roger McGuinn&#8217;s Rickenbacker sounded so revolutionary in 1965. The gitalele isn&#8217;t there for exotic flavouring \u2013 it&#8217;s integral to the song&#8217;s architecture. And those psychedelic textures? They&#8217;re applied with the precision of someone who spent years behind mixing desks, not randomly splashed about like sonic fairy dust.<\/p><span style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><br><\/span><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">The genius of &#8220;Dancing Foam&#8221; is how it manages to be both deeply personal and immediately accessible. It&#8217;s introspective without being navel-gazing, danceable without being mindless. In short, it&#8217;s the sort of track that reminds you why good indie pop, when it&#8217;s firing on all cylinders, remains one of music&#8217;s most satisfying forms. If this is what we can expect from the full album, we&#8217;re in for a treat.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><span style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><br><\/span><font style=\"background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">The album &#8220;Looming Seasons&#8221; is now available from June 26th!<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Dancing Foam\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6QdPWNyQMrBY0ZveyGdmJ9?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Looming Seasons\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6eZ23CXRPV9FxuUX7qKZlG?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Right, so Andr\u00e1s Barj\u00e1k is one of those proper musical magpies \u2013 the sort who&#8217;s been in Hungarian post-hardcore bands, worked as an audio engineer for over a decade, moved to Sweden to develop software, and somehow ended up making indie pop that sounds like The War on Drugs jamming with Sufjan Stevens.
