Dizzy Dearest - Capture Me

Capture Me by Dizzy Dearest

Just recently got introduced to Dizzy Dearest (Lansing Area)'s music and I was truly floored. This track opens with woozily blissed out synths and the vocals and the rest of the instrumentation elevate the track higher and higher as the song progress like a kaleidoscopic strobing hot air balloon. Dizzy Dearest has a truly unique sound blending elements of dayglo folk, dream pop, shoegaze, and indie rock. Highly recommend checking everything on their soundcloud.

Also there's a new addition to the Mostly Pleasant staff! New blog posts will be accompanied by the amazing artwork of Lansing/Mount Pleasant based artistCassie McCarthy

Dr. Patient - Salvadilla

Salvadilla by dr.patient

He's new to the blog, but Dr Patient has been relentlessly cranking out songs for a while now. Check out his new track "Salvadilla," a blissfully off-kilter piano driven IDM tune that conjures images of glitched out/stuttering iridescent holographic mist & clouds
