Strawflower - “Here Comes My Baby”

From Los Angeles, surf rock/ psychedelic pop band Strawflower arrive on our blog with the feel-good sounds of “Here Comes My Baby.”

The surf-tinged chords of electric guitar mark the opening of this tune, but it doesn’t take long before the rest of the band arrives. After a couple of smashing introductions, the rhythm section appears in full force, imbuing “Here Comes My Baby” with a toe-tapping, head-bopping pulse that will have you cranking it up enough for your neighbors to enjoy.

Although the song is a bit more energetic than the sounds to which we are generally drawn, “Here Comes My Baby” possesses a distinctly vintage character that we simply cannot resist. This is made abundantly clear upon the arrival of the vocal performance, which delivers an authentic vibe with classic, late-1960s allure.

On the refrain, a delightful vocal harmony has been deployed, ensuring that each listener fully understands why it is often referred to as the hook. The voices instill the song with an extra serving of retro flavor, bound to bring you back for multiple listening sessions. Just past midpoint, “Here Comes My Baby” peels away some of its layers to provide music lovers with a bridge, shining a spotlight on Strawflower’s dynamic songwriting, as well as allowing the vocals to reach an endearing falsetto.

“Here Comes My Baby” is one of the best lo-fi summer-time power-pop jams you’re going to find, so we suggest getting it into your ears and added to your playlists asap! And while you’re at it, connect with Strawflower across the internet: Spotify | Instagram | TikTok | Bandcamp
