Evaporate your Monday blues with the lush, tropical-sounding “Laying on the Grass” from Sugarloaf Beach. The project of a Brazilian singer/songwriter based in Melbourne, Sugarloaf Beach maintains a bossa nova influence within surf-rock and dream-pop sentiments, an ideal fit for the laid-back and island-set aesthetic. The serene wordless backing croon and tropical guitar swaying opens the track in engrossing form, re-emerging around 01:17 after a series of lush verses. The touch of saxophone in the conclusion lends a full, satisfying feel that accompanies the island guitars with ease. “Laying on the Grass” plays like a cool summer breeze that you want to keep passing by.
