The outside world’s varied stimuli are enough to overwhelm those among us just trying to get through it — thankfully Suburban Living have dropped a new single for our contemporary hazy daydreams.
New track “Indigo Kids” draws inspiration from the curious tale of Russian wunderkind Boris Kipriyanovich who claims himself to be a Martian extraterrestrial — more importantly, it finds its thematic basis in bandleader Wesley Bunch’s own belief “that [more] Indigo kids live among us.” Such intrepid lyricism detailing the otherworldly loneliness — paired with shimmering keys and dark, baritone vox a lá Robert Smith — further hones the song’s ruminative energy, yet its pervading percussive drive and last-minute sax solo by Max Swan keeps things vibrant and lush.
