So, this is definitely an interesting track. Particularly from the instrumental perspective. It’s sorta like listening to Gold Panda, M83 and Bjork all at once.
And no, Young Wonder aren’t from Scandinavia. They’re actually Irish!
Which leaves me having a hard time pegging the instruments used in the background (mostly due to ignorance). There’s certainly a good bit of Asian guitar, but pegging down the exact instrument is difficult given there are ~20 types.
On top of that, it sounds like there may be bagpipe samples?! Which makes sense given the band’s geographic location.
Either way, it’s a unique track, and for that I’ll give it today’s Song of the Day.
