I spend more than a healthy amount of time daydreaming, and most of the music I enjoy has to work itself onto the soundtrack of said daydreams. The cool thing about Lilacs & Champagne is that everything about them fits into my fantasies– from their band name to their label (Mexican Summer), and especially, this incredible track. If I close my eyes while listening to “Sensations”, I am suddenly floating in a cyan sea of chlorine on a neon lounger. I’m topless and fighting a mild hangover, you know, one of those light ones you just have to smoke a lot of weed to get out of. It’s a Sunday and everything is high contrast. A friend is throwing me a beer. I am content and my sunglasses are really awesome.
Their self-titled full length was just released yesterday on Mexican Summer and I’m really excited to see where the rest of the album will take me.
