Saltwater Sun - Habit on my Mind
It shouldn’t be possible, really, for a band to appear out of nowhere with a debut track that appears to have been constructed from just the right elements in exactly the right size and quantity, ordered optimally, packaged perfectly and delivered with such style and panache.
Clearly it is, since that’s exactly what London band Saltwater Sun have managed with Habit on my Mind, three minutes and fifty seconds that manage to contain cavernous guitar effects, and a chorus that flips insouciantly between innocent pop and barrelling rock with no more than a breath dividing the two.
Habit on my Mind is out now, on Hand in Hive records.
