Fit for nighttime driving and other nocturnal adventures, “Best Thing” is a dream-pop success from Portland, OR act Superocean, who impressed with the track “Animal Caller” last year. An atmospheric key-driven lead gives way to lush guitar reverberations upon the vocals’ entry. The “best thing in the world,” bridge around 02:20 expands to an exhilarating rise shortly thereafter, with perked-up vocals merging with a bouncy bass line and resonating key lead. “Best Thing” is a delight.
“Best Thing” comes via the group’s forthcoming third EP, out this summer.
