Psych-pop duo Deer Friends strut a hooky, harmonious rock and power-pop cohesion on new single “Settle Down,” a single from their new album, out December 15th. The Grand Rapids-based project of Seth Boles and Tommy Muldowney show a charming immediacy in the timeless-feeling production. The “I wanna settle down with you,” yearning gears into a peppier power-pop suaveness, marked by the “stay up all night,” sequence — which struts a charming throwback rock disposition, as talk-y guitars linger in between. “Settle Down” has us firmly anticipating the duo’s new album.
