  • Distorted folk for a hazy morning.

  • "Chocolate Orange" reminds me of those self-reflective Sunday mornings after a long night out. In this singer-songwriterly bedroom pop musing, Mark William Lewis showcases his ability to change a melancholy feeling to hope in a flash. After Lewis solemnly sings "I want to bury you," the piano-led accompaniment quickly imbues the line with optimism, a progression that continues through distorted acoustic and electric guitars, ambient synths and funky basslines. Existing somewhere between dream-pop, twisted chillwave and psychedelic folk, "Chocolate" unfolds with a certain gentleness—like a stream of consciousness, or a daydream.
