“Tangerine—the Los Angeles-via-Seattle duo of Marika Justad and Toby Kuhn—have just released their first single “Timeless”, from their forthcoming debut album You’re Still The Only One out on on October 25th, 2024. The LP finds Justad and Kuhn grounded in a world at once natural and mystical, evoking images of clear blue skies, dusky desert magic, pink glowing sunsets, a full moon, or soaking rain. Light pours out of each melodic hook and Justad’s airy vocals add a sense of shimmering whimsy, as showcased in the lush and expansive lead single “Timeless.” A love song laced with ambiguity and existential dread, “Timeless” arrives with a gorgeous video directed by Marika’s sister, Miró Justad. “There’s this uneasiness, this little tug of instability beneath it all,” Marika Justad explains of the track and album. “Sensuality, nature…wanting to feel connected to the organic world, the good and the bad, the blood, the guts, the romance, the sex, the fruit, the rot, the seeds…everything. All of this was on my mind as I began writing.”
I recently received a press release for the latest single by a captivating indie pop group from the beautiful Pacific Coast. Whenever I come across a band from the West Coast, it takes me back to the magnificent coastline and the invigorating scent of the ocean breeze. My wife and I have fond memories of our time in California, and we often find ourselves yearning to revisit. For now, I find solace in connecting with the music that comes from this breathtaking region. The sunny, dreamy, and beachy indie pop sound that characterizes the Pacific coast has always resonated with me. It conjures up vivid imagery of clear blue skies, enchanting desert landscapes, radiant pink sunsets, the allure of a full moon, and the refreshing touch of rain as the press release says. It’s a beautiful tapestry of experiences. If there’s one thing I could change about my life in Slovakia, it would be to have access to the ocean. I deeply miss it, but the music from this part of the world evokes cherished memories of our coastal travels and the simple joys of life.
