Enamoring with a catchy pop sound infused with jazz and soul savvy, “igloo” is a incredible new monitor from in/of. Hypnotic synths traverse rapidly right into a bouncy bass pulse, whereas easy vocals exude a way of tumult utilizing warmth and chilly metaphors. “Is it the temp?” they ask, beckoning within the subsequent refrain: “Let’s escape this warmth wave into an igloo / Don’t soften away.” The lyrics play artfully, capturing emotional turbulence — akin to being trapped in a warmth wave, and looking for aid from the mood-cooling “igloo.”
The extra vocal lead, after the primary refrain, stirs in retaining the dreamy soulfulness. “Make my popsicle soften, warmth too sweltering to inform,” they set free. The vocalists converge with melodic attraction through the “don’t soften away” central hook, punctuated by fashionable synth work that ventures enjoyably into the sating conclusion. “igloo” is a intelligent, hook-filled success from in/of, an ascending Asian-American band that includes “a multi-instrumentalist, rapper, singer, & poet.”
