Out in early 2016, King Deluxe is dropping the new Your Gay Thoughts album, THE WATERCOLORS LP in a refreshing array of refracted pop sounds. It’s always a pleasure to hear when a band request Tiny Mix Tapes premiere their works — considering the label admittedly “suggested [they] pick a few of the better sites” — and Your Gay Thoughts seems like that type of pleasurable group of musicians we enjoy representing here! Featuring the single “Cup Of Smoke,” Your Gay Thoughts leads in with a real pleasant intro, feeding on vibrated tones and the patience of light strumming, following an insatiable drumming that tip-toes a choreography of movement around the instrumental spacing of the lead-in. Then a voice takes over, trailing a little like Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear, resonating with the harmonics being plucked and gentle symbol taps, flirting with the mix of rythm and melody. Though, ALL AROUND, “Cup Of Smoke” obviously sounds like this stroke of brilliance!
Keep an early 2016 eye out for THE WATERCOLORS LP on King Deluxe, go see Your Gay Thoughts perform TONIGHT in Budapest at Toldi, and enjoy “Cup Of Smoke,” below until the whole album drops:
