Thematically capturing the sensation of “finding something lost,” “Hot Air Balloon” is a compelling new single from Philadelphia-based artist Hue Hinton.
Its debonair, murky rock stylings reminding fondly of Unknown Mortal Orchestra, “Hot Air Balloon” presents a grooving intrigue into a stirring lyrical proclamation: “I guess I needed some change to find my way back to you.” Thereafter, clanging piano and pulsing percussive ardency leads a magnetic, atmospheric conclusion. This is another consuming showcase from Hue Hinton, who caught our ears last year with the dreamy track “SYS.”
