Following the well-received track “Aubrey,” Sonic Blume impress again with the dreamily melodic “Pink Boots.” Inspired by “both dreams and discontent with reality,” the track features serene vocals — tonally reminiscent of Wild Nothing — over glistening guitars, a whirring ’80s-friendly synth, and pulsing percussion. The “tell us a story,” vocal bit signals a dreamier ascension alongside new guitar-laden murkiness, a successful maneuver. “Aubrey” and “Pink Boots” have shown the New Jersey-based Sonic Blume as an act to pay close attention to.
