Oklahoma-based band Mingo Drive produce an accessibly melodic sound on “Color Blind Stories.” The single excels with its charismatic guitar work and peppy vocal hooks, producing an anthemic appeal. Dobro Slide Guitar and steady rhythms combine for an alluring sound, one that’s aptly described as ideal for summer road trips. Synth flourishes bolster the effervescent vocal drive in the second half especially, building into a satisfying outro.
