Simple exquisite melodies are the winning hand on this song from Brooklyn’s Late Cambrian. There’s a touch of George Harrison, the tenets of power-pop in a stripped-back setting and a psychedelic country-tinged wander through psych pop.

Atlanta, GA’s Nikki & the Phantom Callers have a new album coming out on April 3rd called Everybody’s Going to Hell (But You and Me) and ‘Blue Moonlight’ is one of the early singles from it.
