Track Title: Collapsing At Your Doorstep

It’s quite sad to see this Swedish duo split up in 2012, but this is still a great morning track to help you prepare for the day ahead! They’re not afraid of exploring their extensive drum kits, and although some might argue the repetitive form of the tracks falls towards stagnation, they do well to combat such opinions by including both nature soundscapes (such as 2:42), and allowing the listener several relaxation points when the strings are not so prevalent.

My beach track for the day…

The recurring “whistle” motive (2:58) rides happily alongside the melodic bell theme, and reminisces the opening motive. Clean production lines, airy vocals, robust drum support, excellent panning, and a firm grasp of flow combine to mix well with the images you see during a beach walk, when the world is shimmers and the waves laugh.
