An intriguingly atmospheric debut from Sacred Heart Auto League, “Hello, Friend” wanders amidst spacey synth pads and a captivating vocal beckoning, asking “where have you gone?” following the friendly salutation. Slithering brass tones linger underneath the elongated vocal tones, as glimmering keys further the lushness as the vocals urge to “look ashore.” The brassy warmness assumes a subtle increase in prominence, crackling alongside the moody vocals and into a dreamy guitar-fronted close. “Hello, Friend” presents an intoxicating, slow-burning appeal from Sacred Heart Auto League.
