Torquay outfit Tourists have released ‘Another State’, the title track from their upcoming debut album (out Nov 20th). Released via Modern Sky UK, it was mixed by The War On Drugs and Diiv cohort Daniel Schlett at his Strange Weather studios in Brooklyn.
The blissful swirling guitars chime perfectly with the Grandaddy circa ‘Crystal Lake’ production. It takes the sun drenched joy of Real Estate to somewhere fuzzier and unbelievably, more carefree.
Sonically, with so much at play, you’d forgive them for sounding muddled but, like a sun setting on still water, they have conjured a simple beauty to marvel at.
For anyone desperate to escape Trump, covid or personal woes, ‘Another State’ is the artistic ticket to elsewhere you have been waiting for.
