‘Your Face in the Sun’ and ‘Almost July’ are two tunes that truly stole our hearts this year. Both courtesy of ELDERLY WHITE MAN, a rather special duo based in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal, the upbeat and vibrant sonic offerings struck the perfect balance between heartfelt emotion and breezy charm.
We thought ‘Only Memories’ would be the act’s last release of 2024, but it turns out they had one more piece of dreamy, gooey, and immersive brilliance up their sleeves to cap off the year.
‘Overnight To Rotterdam’ serves as the fifth song in a five-song-cycle about a doomed summer love affair. It invites listeners on a relentless journey of love lost. Instrumentally, however, we’re talking about a seriously infectious, warm, and highly enchanting number.
Quietly pulsing with a hypnotic bass line and driving drum beat, ELDERLY WHITE MAN’s latest offering is another supreme example of the pair’s ability to turn heartbreak into something beautiful.
Still relative newcomers to the scene, the duo are beginning to build up a steady and devoted following. And I believe, with a touch of luck, 2025 could very well be their year!
