Our Take

SUBURBAN LIVING’s latest album, Almost Paradise, is like taking a stroll through a suburban utopia where every lawn is perfectly manicured and every cocktail party is a blend of class and chaos. It's a sonic exploration of the not-so-perfect perfection of suburban life, filled with shimmering guitars, dreamy vocals, and a touch of nostalgia that will have you yearning for a white picket fence and a cul-de-sac to call your own.

From the infectious hooks of "Lovely Times" to the hazy vibes of "No Way Out", SUBURBAN LIVING delivers a sound that is both familiar and fresh, like hearing your favourite 80s synth-pop album for the first time all over again. The band expertly blends elements of indie rock, shoegaze, and dream pop to create a sound that is uniquely their own, making Almost Paradise a must-listen for fans of bands like DIIV and Wild Nothing.

But don't let the title fool you - Almost Paradise is far from perfect. Tracks like "Come True" and "Lovely Times" inject a sense of longing and melancholy into the album, reminding us that even in the most idyllic of settings, there are still cracks in the facade. SUBURBAN LIVING embraces this duality, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is equal parts sunshine and shadow.

So grab your Wayfarers, hop in your Volvo station wagon, and crank up the volume on Almost Paradise - because SUBURBAN LIVING is here to prove that even in the midst of suburban ennui, there is beauty to be found in the everyday.
