California-based duo L'ESPIRAL not too long ago shared their delightful new single, "Little Mountain Road". As the title may suggest, the song is perfect for those winding road trips where the corners never end; it's dreamy and has a whimsical underlining sound.
... a dreamy, psych-folk gem—blending tender electronics, lush violins, and mesmerizing dual vocals.
Vocally, this is sensational, and as a new listener, I felt hooked from the get-go, with the tender bursts of electronics in the background helping me to sink into the song quicker than I initially thought. When the violin comes in, I felt like the track levelled up. It's borderline country, dream-pop, and folk all at the same time, but with a deeper psych-pop feeling underneath it all.
The dual vocals were a welcome surprise when they came in, and by that point, I was rather content with leaving L'ESPIRAL's tracks on a loop once this finished. Generally, this feels like a perfect gateway track into everything L'ESPIRAL is all about, so jump on this while you still can!
