Crafting their own dream pop sound with a hint of shoegaze inspired by the likes of Cocteau Twins and Slowdive, Babel’s new single sees the duo meld gentle instrumentation with the lullaby delivery of Karin Mäkiranta’s soothing and honeyed vocals, as she sings about captivating an admirer with tricks.
The ethereal melodies emphasise the spellbinding and poetic lyricism – “Float on the surface / Swim in the honey / Taste the bubbles / My golden dream”, which, when combined, creates a sun-drenched mirage that instantly whisks the listener into another world.
