Hazy psych-pop gem “Sucralose” is the newly released single from Mother Sun, a band Based in Kamloops, British Columbia. Quaint keys and vocals lead initially, with gradual expansion as the one-minute mark approaches. This particular build-up, with its lo-fi vocal appeal and melodic hypnotic allure, reminds fondly of early Ariel Pink. 02:06 sees a transition into beautifully dazed guitars, which cast a dreamy quality alongside the more sporadic vocals. An emotive vocal plea ends this quality track in top form.
