Australian musician Tim Ayre impresses on new track “LAXX” with a sound that resembles Tame Impala’s psych-friendly bounce. Serene analog synths and an evolving vocal presence, escalating from the verses’ nonchalance into a melodic and chirpy chorus, lead the way. Around 02:30, the track expands into psych-friendly gorgeousness. A brisker, more forceful psych-pop delivery takes hold here, ending the track on an excitably infectious note. I’m definitely looking forward to Ayre’s forthcoming EP, due this fall on French label Kitsuné Musique.
