The first of several releases in the coming months from Bad Mime, the solo project of drummer/programmer Zach Simao, “Do You Love Your Man?” succeeds with a late-night, reflective charm. Forlorn vocals, subtle guitar twangs, and bouncy synths assemble a consuming stylistic pull, parts Junior Boys and parts The Radio Dept., enjoyably so. The artist describes the track as “a summertime slow jam inspired by a conversation with my girlfriend about star-crossed lovers and her celebrity crush.” “Do You Love Your Man?” has me anticipating the upcoming releases from Bad Mine, for sure.
