It's always a bit of a litmus test to put word "summer" in your song title. Can you capture the feel of that sweet season? Is your song a pleasant 25c with a cloudless sky? Can the word "dappled" be used to describe the music?
Well, the quintet of musicians in West Virginia band Ona pass the test with "Summer Candy," the lead-off track to their new album Full Moon, Heavy Light.
Bouncing bass line and propulsive snare / hi-hat? Check. Ringing lead guitar line? Check. Swirling rhythm guitar? Check. Smooth vocal delivery? Check.
"So soft / so sweet" go the vocals describing the Summer Candy in the song, but it's a fitting description of the song itself.
Thanks to the fine folks at Planetary who sent this record my way last week.
