“California Heatwave” is a hypnotic, jangly charmer from soft siren, A combination of jangling and twangy guitar layers complement a playful bass line to start, as a dreamy vocal entrancement struts a scene-setting vision of driving through a California heatwave — and “losing my direction along the way.” The driving guitar tones and ethereal vocals meld with intoxicating, warming allure. Wordless vocals and ascending guitar passion represent a riveting midpoint sequence, then maneuvering into a caressing outro. The release marks another success from the project, which comprises Sidewalks and Skeletons, CASHFORGOLD, and Michael Coe (Count The Clock). They previously caught our ears in 2024 with the track “Like You Found God.”
