From their forthcoming debut LP, The Party and the Mess, Switzerland-based indie pop collective Soft Loft have recently released the charmingly dreamy “Rose Colored.”

We are big fans of pop music that employs a guitar-driven foundation, so pressing play on “Rose Colored” immediately piqued our interest. The warm and gentle layers of guitar utilized here are quite refreshing to hear in a genre that is generally dominated by midi and synth. After a tasteful drum fill, an upbeat and lo-fi rhythm quickly falls into place, sending the tune on its energetic and breezy way.

There is an ethereal veneer that pads the arrangement, providing a thickness and dreamy depth to the mix. And, of course, where the song completely wins us over is in the vocal department. The lyrics effortlessly and melodically glide into your ears, providing an energy that is wholesome and secure– they feel like home, a place to recharge after spending the day among the hustle and bustle of the real world.

Over its duration, the song washes over its listeners, removing any signs of excess troubles and fears. It is heartfelt music that has been crafted by genuinely good people, which is exactly what the world needs right now. No matter where you are, let “Rose Colored” transport you to a better place.
