Mother Sun and the surf noir psychedelic mystery of "Tangerine Beach"

 

"burn your hot feet when you're drunk and try to land..."


More fun and compelling than that M. Night Shyamalan movie that also involved a lot of sand, "Tangerine Beach" by Canadian psych quartet Mother Sun is a wonderful musically cascading piece of surf noir bathed in psychedelia. The song plays like beach rock and desert rock at the same time with runaway drums and interwoven layers of horns amid all the spaghetti western guitars. There is a moody amping up tension throughout and while I will not give the Official Video away, like the glossy world of Instagram where everything is a façade, maybe things are not as they seem. 

Of the track, the band shares: 

"'Tangerine Beach' and its video tell the story of an optimistic vacationer, played by Nathan, whose trip is thwarted by expectations of paradise. Arriving at at the beach, many margaritas in hand, Nathan loses a lens to the sunglasses shading him from the reality of his surroundings.”

["Train of Thought", the third full length release by Mother Sun, is a 12 song day trip through an overstimulated frame of mind. Using 60’s and 70’s psych pop, garage rock, jazz and soul as a jumping off point, the band refines their modern eclectic storytelling through lush and adventurous arrangements, highlighted by abstract hooks, velvety strings and triumphant horns.]
