Pop is a wide umbrella and while it is a genre that is usually defined by the decade in which it is produced sometimes when done purely, when devoid of the indie tropes of the day, it becomes sonic art that is quite literally timeless. "Ava" by Norwegian indie pop band Pelicat is one such song, effervescently caught in amber, forever pure and perfect for any time. With a cadence of a hurried bicycle ride to meet the one you love for ice cream, perfectly picked and plucked acoustic guitar, bending electric sounds and delicate orchestrations over Andreas Kase’s cleanly rendered, youthful vocal lilt not over or undersold but elegantly real, the song embraces you. Like an amalgam of Paul McCartney, Elliot Smith, Crowded House or other lyrically poetic artists, Pelicat, here give us something that is so easy to love.
Inspired by an episode on doctor Phil and how far some people are willing to go for attention. "Ava" was produced by the band themselves, mixed by Øystein Frantzvåg and mastered by Christian Obermayer.

Pelicat is a group of friends that write and play timeless pop music. The four members all serve as producers and musicians for many other artists, and Pelicat is a common playground where they can record their music without any boundaries but from themselves. The result is a strong focus on melodies and a warm vibe, inspired by the likes of Harry Nilsson, George Harrison and other great songwriters of that era.
