Waterstrider, an indie pop band from Oakland, recently dropped their first release in over a year-and-a-half. The new release is a cover of Little Dragon's earlier gems called "Twice."
While their sound typically features a more indie rock vibe with african and latin influences, their cover of "Twice" switches gears and moves them in a more downtempo direction. The track starts off slow and melancholic with the beat eventually building uptoward the end in a manner that puts me into a mystic groove.
The cover is currently available for free download over on Waterstrider's Soundcloud
page. And if you are from the Bay area on January 11, 2014, the band will be playing over at Slims - check em out!
