The resonating “Recreation” is a new track from UV Tourist, off their upcoming album Out of Body. Twangy guitar shimmers and soaring vocals guide to a hooky series of keys/synths past the 30-second mark, signaling one of the track’s numerous clever melodic shifts. The clanging guitars around 01:40 is another notable section, emitting a crisply memorable quality. Lyrics like “I just wanna feel that warm connection,” convey a particular yearning that everyone can relate to at the moment…
“I wrote this song in 2012, thinking about the difference between surface-level pleasures and deeper ones,” the band writes. “But in these quarantine times, “Recreation” takes on a new meaning for me, as we self-isolate and wait for the day where we can connect physically again.”
