East London duo Courtly Love’s latest track “Mirage” has got us soaked in its bluesy tones and psychedelic hazes.
The track’s slow pace creates a soothing atmosphere, whilst the guitar melody creates a glistening, infectious sound that falls just shy of four-minutes of bliss. The switch between male/female vocals elevate the track, peaking when the chorus kicks in and the harmonies soar.
Courtly Love’s effortless cool is admirable, whisking the listener far away from the cold, dreary January days. “Mirage” feels wholesome – a fantastic follow-up to previous release, “Voodoo Girl”.
