Lapdog ripped up the indie songwriting script with their psychedelically mellow single, Yellow Belly

Someone let the raconteurs of indie psych experimentalism, Lapdog, off the leash and into the studio to record their double A-side single, Yellow Belly / Buy & Sell, and the airwaves are infinitely sweeter for it.

Despite the complex time signatures which rip up the indie songwriting script, the melodies in Yellow Belly reach the pinnacle of mellow melodiousness before the single slips into Grandaddy-esque synthy obscurity, bringing it right back to the wobbly with saturation tones from the prelude.

With vocal lines which take cloud-like form as they drift through the intricately layered yet mesmerically smooth soundscape, The Salt Lake City conduits of soul-kissed innovation hit it out of the dog park with Yellow Belly. Feel good tracks have never felt so good.

Yellow Belly / Buy & Sell is now available to stream on Spotify.
