Boyscott music sounds like you're near a body of water on a day off, possibly dipping your feet in, a wee drink in your hand, maybe with a pal, you're partner or just yourself, the sun bounces off the water with a shimmering jangle and life seems sweet and you've no idea why? Aye, sounds like that.
In the Spellbound sonic universe, enchanting hooks about friendship and growing up in New Jersey orbit driving verses that prize brevity, never laboring longer than necessary - On lead single "Rocky Road," Boyscott explore the mental gymnastics required for a career in music, pulling on the threads of fear and excitement they experienced in their early tours
Such reflection is abundant on Spellbound: "Arthur Kill" refers to the peculiar beauty of a boat graveyard in the Arthur Kill tidal strait; where "Lima" interpolates a song that stuck with Hermo since high school. All told, Spellbound continues what Boyscott started with Goose Bumps, honing their pristinely arranged indie pop morsels into a fully realized sound that vindicates the near ten-year wait.
