Lala Salama’s latest single ahead of its anticipated debut album release is the “Aurinko sulattaa mun pään” (in English “The Sun Melts My Head”). The up tempo shoegaze ballad and its colorfully dramatic and fantastical video featuring animation and alternating images of the band performing live and frolicking while shape shifting into dogs, snakes, older versions of themselves and back while playing the song on a conventional stage and during a storm with lighting strikes all around (as projections and as effects directly on the musicians) has all the hallmarks of the kind of song destined for a celebratory action sequence in a film. The circular guitar solo and its fast strumming alongside Rosa Jules’ anthemic and emotionally charged vocals recall memories of summer adventures just in time for making more after what has felt like an extended winter. Effervescent and uplifting, “Aurinko sulattaa mun pään” is a song for fans of the irrepressible energy of bands like Blushing and Asobi Seksu.
