Out today from Cap’n Marble, “Bed of Sun” is a supremely melodic success with a lushly dazed psych-pop pull. Impressing earlier this year with the Come 2 California EP, the duo’s knack for hooks continues here, adorned with the most consuming aesthetic I’ve heard yet from them. Whereas EP efforts like the self-titled track echoed a brisker, surf-oriented direction, “Bed of Sun” plays more like a sunset-accompanied comedown. A serene organ-forward backing is continuous, as flickering guitar twangs and smooth vocals exude a melodic sharpness. 01:24 signals a lovely swaying series of guitars, contrasted nicely a minute later by guitars emitting a more jangly tone. “Bed of Sun” continues a very successful year for Cap’n Marble thus far.
