Back in June, Los Angeles based dream pop duo Soft Velvet Lounge released their gorgeous debut album Life of the Party. The album is akin to a deep sigh; lo-fi, pensive instrumentals and soft, bright vocals intertwine, resulting in a nostalgic, hazy aura that’s blissfully lost in time. “Homecoming,” one of our favorite tracks from the debut, is simple but incredibly sophisticated in the way it attempts to reconstruct something as fragile as memory: “Remember that time/ I asked you to take my hand?” begins the second verse in an earnest, humble tone, reminiscing on how everything, even the stars, were aligned. “Everything I do/ Brings me back to you,” they admit, ensconced in synth glimmers resembling a glass chandelier caught in the sunlight.
Life of the Party is out now.
