A hazy lo-fi pop offering from Melbourne-based duo Ratfink!, “Graze on You” releases ahead of their upcoming album Ratfunnk. The track struts a charming interplay of voices and guitar-led serenity. Recorded in their shared home, the track reflects the pair’s DIY approach while blending personal storytelling with breezy melodic sensibilities.
Warming, lush guitars move with hypnotic blissfulness as the track gets underway, bolstered by snare-led rhythmic backing. Both vocalists enamor in their shifting of prominence; Raph assumes the initial lead with an introspective dreaminess, while Liv’s gorgeously soaring complements join with spine-tingling precision. “It’s fair to say that you ain’t no Hemingway,” Raph lets out during the verses, complemented by sporadic guitar jangles that lend well to the comforting undercurrent.
A smitten overall lyrical sense continues to pair with a delectably hazy lo-fi rock styling. “With that smile, you know I could spend a while, I wanna graze on your sense of style,” the lead delivery continues with intoxicating allure, bolstered by reflective backing harmonies. The tranquil guitar work, consistent rhythms, and caressing dual-voice entrancement lead a delightful production from Ratfink!, thoroughly impressing with melodic songwriting and a serenely memorable soundscape. The track has us thoroughly anticipating their upcoming full-length, Ratfunnk.
