A woozy single from Minnesota-based artist Adult Dog, “Sandman” builds from calming synth work and contemplative vocals into a soaring emotiveness. A debonair bass undercurrent and steady percussive flow complement consistently throughout, as vocals admit that “I’m trying,” into the title-touting chorus. Shimmering acoustics and an added twinkling bolster the ascended vocal presence there, moving cohesively from the morning-set verses. Buzzy guitars in the final minute send chills alongside a perkier vocal vibrancy, bringing this stellar success to a satiating close.
