D.D. Island’s Manifestation of the Halcyon Days of a New Love on “Sawtooth Sunshine”

DDIsland_LostDog_sm — D.D. Island *Los Dog* cover

“Sawtooth Sunshine” by D.D. Island is something best heard in headphones to take in the full range of the sounds of the song. It’s main guitar melody, reminiscent of “Carolyn’s Fingers” by Cocteau Twins, and the texture of the acoustic strum, electronic drums and Brandon Rhodes’ wistful vocals sketch out the emotional image of the early, fresh stages of a new love when everything feels good and right. In the context of the new full length Lost Dog (released June 8) it’s part of a natural arc of the human experience and not a place to get stuck and hung up on like your lowest points. And yet one to enjoy and savor for as long as it lasts. Listen to the track and explore D.D. Island’s work further at the links below. Also, look out for the band live around the USA in 2019.
