Last Box of Sparklers’ track “Give Way, Long Gone” is perhaps best described as hazy psych pop. The Gothenberg indie production project-turned-experimental collaboration has a foggy, yet delicate sound reminiscent of early Teen Suicide (now American Pleasure Club.) There’s a sense of personability and intimacy to the song that’s not always easy to find, as if frontman Erik Gunnar Nyberg is confiding in a friend while soundtracking his innermost thoughts. The group clearly has a soft spot for vintage synths, piecing each instrumental element together so that they seamlessly coexist while remaining distinct. It’s the ideal mix of down-to-earth indie pop and carefully calculated electronica. Take “Give Way, Long Gone” for a spin, and check out the rest of LBOS’ album Airwaves if time allows.
