Michael Elmer – “Charlie Brown”

/

A soaring psych-rock radiance stirs on “Charlie Brown,” a delightful track from Michael Elmer. Catching “na-na,” vocal reflections complement the steady vocal lead, as buzzing guitar distortion and panting percussive stomps meld with seamless entrancement. A bass-heavy segment past the two-minute turn furthers the momentum, culminating impactfully in an orchestral spiritedness that adds an enjoyable dynamic to the already thrilling and dynamic psych-rock appeal. A final, distortion-laden hook — “sleeps like an infant,” — caps it all off with satiating effect.

The stellar track comes via Elmer’s new album, Venice in June, streaming below:
