Sunny Day Sets Fire: “Wilderness”
Here with their debut single, Sunny Day Sets Fire deliver a perfect slice of shimmery, summery indie pop; the flawless companion to the lengthened light and relieved responsibility of summer. With Mewish vocals and an ascending xylophone progression as catchy as any single piece of instrumentation this year, the multinational (two Italians on guitars, a percussionist from Hong Kong, and a Brit on bass) quartet prove their knack for writing irresistible pop gems. In a perfect world, “Wilderness” narrowly beats out “Young Folks” as the #1 single of the summer, people never grow old and tracks like this never lose that new car smell. Back to reality though; I discovered my first grey hair (seriously) and “Wilderness” loses some of it’s shining luster with repeated listens and the changing of the seasons, but the track remains a wholly impressive debut nonetheless.
