A meditative track with psych-rock and rainy-day jazz intertwining, “Eucalyptus” comes via El Oso Guapo, a San Diego-based singer/songwriter. “The rain it never ends,” vocal laments stir amidst a smooth-flowing melding of brass and guitars, conveying ample mystique into a hard-rocking fervency past the two-minute turn.
Written during a storm, the calamity around the mid-point enthralls in its audible representation. “Heavy branches gonna bring em’ down, crushing all the people around,” lyrical foreboding plays with eerie immersion, ascending into a percussive ferocity with rising saxophone into the final minute. “Eucalyptus” is a riveting showcase in atmosphere from El Oso Guapo, who describes the track as “based on a conversation I had with others about eucalyptus trees.”
