Ultimately, it proves the kind of song we long to delve deep into, whether to soak up the sounds or bask in the lyrics’ messaging – making it the perfect introduction for not only for this EP, but also the band’s debut album.

The Los Angeles-based duo of vocalist/songwriter Natalie Smith and producer Eric Jackowitz, Cape Weather have long displayed a penchant for melding “classic” and “retro” pop influences with more modern rock production styles and catchy pop songwriting the result is a blend of the familiar and the fresh that has earned the outfit acclaim from the likes of NPR and The Line of Best Fit, as well as a few million well-deserved streams over their short tenure (with hopefully many more to come).
