Amsterdam-based band Biatlón unveil a stellar debut single in “evergreen,” drawing from inspirations like Slowdive in its atmospheric, warming dream-pop sound. Alongside imagery “from a world of sunny days and forgotten emotions,” the track’s production drives on jangly guitars and lush synth flourishes. Multiple vocal layers emit a lush entrancement, invoking a sophisti-pop shimmering as well past the first-minute turn, with shades of Prefab Sprout. “evergreen” is a gripping introduction from this talented act.
