On their most heartfelt and relaxed release yet, the Southern California indie duo Lo-Tide captures a range of emotions with their new single, "Dairy Queen." This song is a warm, thoughtful reminder of summers past, wrapped in a mellow vibe. It marks a significant moment for Morgan and David, the duo behind Lo-Tide, as they reconnect musically after a two-year separation, with Morgan in Paris and David in Los Angeles.
The track evokes a sense of longing and memory, reflecting the feelings of being reunited after some time apart. Written and recorded while they were in different cities, "Dairy Queen" beautifully captures the essence of reconnection and the sweet memories of shared experiences. Morgan's smooth guitar playing and soft vocals blend perfectly with David's gentle violin melodies, creating a sound that evokes the sensation of a stunning sunset drive along the coast. The title itself stirs up memories of roadside stops and youthful adventures, but the song goes beyond this initial charm. It's a thoughtful reflection on time and the joy of reuniting with someone who knows you well. "Dairy Queen" feels less like just a song and more like a cherished memory, a collection of feelings that resonate deeply.
Now that they are back together in Los Angeles, Lo-Tide is ready to embark on a new journey, and "Dairy Queen" serves as a bright introduction to this next chapter. While their signature coastal sound remains, there's a new maturity in their writing and production, shaped by the distance they've traveled both in life and in their musical journey.
