Although we’re on the tail end of summer, we’re always
keen to hear breezy free-flowing tunes and ‘Holiday’ is a great way to mimic a
midweek daydream. Californian producer Teebs has teamed up with Sydney’s Jonti for a track that is lush, warm
and rhythmic.
It feels longer than four minutes (in a good way) and
from a peaceful start the music opens up into an atmospheric loop. With bird
noises, chanting and chimes it starts to feel like you’re lying on the depths
of the rainforest floor.
But underlying the rainforest relaxation are some
quiet, bitter lyrics, “I’m sorry I hurt you,” and between these two producers
there is some sweet work on the vocal harmonies, with a sentimentality that
reminds me of Jagwar Ma.
