FloraNova, an LA-based band, just dropped their latest single, “Joyride,” and it’s an absolute gem with its mellow, lo-fi vibe.
The track opens with charming whistling and laid-back guitar tones that bring an instant feeling of warmth and relaxation. A tape-stop effect smoothly transitions into the main groove, where the lo-fi guitar takes center stage, blending seamlessly with the steady beat of the drums and a pulsing bassline that ties everything together. As the song moves forward, the guitar shifts to a heavier tone, leading into an understated yet deeply satisfying solo that perfectly enhances the song’s overall vibe.
The vocals are effortlessly cool, adding to the track’s easygoing feel. Reverb gives the vocal a sense of depth, while the falsetto backing vocals during the main sections are a delightful touch that takes the song to the next level. “Joyride” is the perfect soundtrack for a real-life joyride!
