Brighton is very well known as the hub for bands in the UK, and Blofeld Sands are one of those acts emerging from that scene that sounds like they can go on to be as big as the very best from the city. Their new single showcases their dreamy tones in the best way, and "Never Been Easy" makes it seem to me that the band has been touring for years, not only on their second-ever release.
... a dreamy, sun-soaked slice of Brighton brilliance—like gliding into golden hour with the windows down and nothing but vibes ahead.
The song comes in just over three minutes long, but in that time, you're welcomed in with a soaring guitar and atmospheric percussion that'll beckon you forward, and when you do, you'll be thankful. The vocals shortly arrive, and when they do, you'll feel at peace with yourself, sinking into the track like you're on a waterbed after a heavy night out in Cambridge (yes, that was me one night).
The whole feel of the track is one that you can blast out on a drive in the summer when the horizon still has that orange hue to it. "Never Been Easy", possibly one of the best dream-pop tracks to come out of Brighton in ages!
