Two posts in one day! Didn’t see that coming, did you? Couldn’t help myself mates, it’s big Summer vibez from Charles Buddy Daaboul. Having just entered December we’re all still too excited about Winter’s demise to complain about the sweltering heat and so our optimism clings on. This is obviously a track written in Winter, about Summer. Come February and you’ll be hearing odes to sweaty pits and failed air-con but for now it’s rose coloured sunglasses and warm nostalgia, a la the chorus of this track. The very same chorus that drags the verse’s drawl into a far smoother realm of higher octaves and Beach House guitar tones. I’m not going to use the term ‘Summer Single’ but seriously, summer single.

At this very moment I’m knee deep in Charlie’s bandcamp and pretty stoked with life. As the old saying goes, ‘good things come to those who are currently on bandcamp’. Never been more true. You too can hear what I hear and feel what I feel simply by following this link and listening to one or both of his EPs. Just as an aside, he’s also a member of Sydney experimental-cool-guy-rock band No Art. Actually a good band. Anywho, here’s an older track for you so that when someone asks “Have you heard Shorts and Smiles? Such a Summer single!” you can be all, “Piss off champion, his old gear was better. Go listen to Zazzbot the Magical then talk to me”.
