Kate Relton discovers a gentle pop track perfect for soundtracking lazy summer afternoons
If you’re looking for a soundtrack to those hazy summer afternoons in the park with friends, look no further than Detroit Tourist Board’s latest single Who Were We. A gentle pop sound that wouldn’t be out of place in a 90s coming-of-age movie montage, singer-songwriter Patrick Lawrence creates a sense of nostalgia without straying into imitation or repetition.
A five-piece musical project led by Lawrence, Detroit Tourist Board are going from strength to strength after being featured on BBC Introducing last year. The perfect backdrop for lazing in the sun, summer road trips or nursing a coffee on a hungover Sunday morning, Who Were We is a reassuringly familiar take on acoustic pop that allows you to listen with ease.
