The Marley Woods – “Good Times”

//

A replay-inducing sound envelops on “Good Times,” a baroque-touched power-pop gem from The Marley Woods. The St. Louis-based band craft a sound fit for sunshine on this fantastic debut single, lyrically exuding a sense of self-discovery and being “tired of wasting my days,” as radiant guitars and twinkling keys traverse into the “good times are slipping away,” multi-vocal harmoniousness.

The lovely production resembles something that would star within the Elephant 6 collective. The “if only we could go back,” pining melds well with the nostalgic, shimmering qualities — capturing a sense of effervescent escapism within the melodic psychedelic, power-pop glow.

This and other tracks featured this month can be streamed on the updating Obscure Sound’s ‘Emerging Singles’ Spotify playlist.
