A mixture of the Wrens, Elvis Costello, and a more straightforward Jellyfish, Atlanta's Californias make confident, full-bodied indie pop. Like their name would suggest, their music is sunny, upbeat, and oh-so bittersweet.
Steamy afternoons, hot midnights, and silky mornings
Eliciting passion, fire, and mystery
...what is good is gone
but now is back.
Emotions create moods create
Music
Souls wash in on crests from the sea
California breathing.
Summer-right guy, right girl, a pearl
Washing the whole world away
Brief, suspended stealing oblivion
music. hushed cry goodbye.
The Dive Deep
Soul to keep
Into the tide not to abide
Stroke the breast of her sighing sea
And leave behind...
California.
