The keen reader might remember reading about cryptic British-American duo ELDERLY WHITE MAN. Writing about ‘Your Face in the Sun’ earlier this year, we proudly declared it a “summery and infectious hook-filled jam that will have you dancing all night long.” We stand by our words: the pair makes feel-good, dreamy records, often with a certain groove to it.
‘Almost July’ confirms it all: ELDERLY WHITE MAN’s latest effort, the single picks up exactly where they left off. A soulful and vibrant pop offering, the track seems to borrow the occasional disco influence, only to then expand the sonic picture with shoegaze-like guitar tones. Vocals are elegant and intimate, delivered with a certain nostalgia – a fleeting moment of melancholia and remembrance.
Based in Portugal, the pair elaborates further about the inspiration behind the single: “An unforgettable depiction of falling in love, with sophisticated lyrics to create an indelible, melodic image of passion in the American Southwest.”
