“Orange Sunshine” is an initially hazy rocker from Growing Pains, based in Portland, Oregon. By its second half, a flurry of anthemic, spirited guitars join with wordless vocal passion for an invigorating, cathartic feeling. Blasts of distortion converge with frantic percussion as the three-minute mark approaches, unleashing a bevy of energy. Just as it rose, the track closes steadily, in a tranquil haze more fit for contemplative post-rock feels, structurally reminiscent of Sigur Rós. “Orange Sunshine” develops with enjoyable vigor from contemplative rock into a blistering vein of excitable psych-friendly joy, never quite letting go.
“Orange Sunshine” comes from Growing Pains’ new album, Heaven Spots.
