"it's hard for us just to figure it out..."
Everyone has their bad days and their good days. "Survive" by Portugal based Castilho, the solo project of Pedro Castilho (synth player / backing vocalist for the psych rock band Savanna), even drenched in a sparkling bit of melancholia feels like one of the good days (to me). I am digging Pedro's hushed tender vox (that at certain times feels like that good best friend stoned and whispering in your ear) and the chill wave of jazzy infused indie rock / doo wop punk is deliciously embracing. Love the pearly Fender Rhodes-esque keys and the beautiful tight drumming that shifts with the song in double time and half time ways. The song is so dynamically rich and dreamy. The uplifting sort of disco meets, Fred and Ginger glitter ball escapades jam session coda with the superb sax solo and Gretsch 6015 sounding pretty floating guitar notes is everything.
