Monday Moods: “Lo-Fi Vibing”

It’s been a hectic start to the New Year. Take a minute to sit back and breathe.

If one of your resolutions for 2021 was to stay up on more new music, you’ve come to the right place. For the uninitiated, Monday Mood is our bi-weekly roundup of tunes from some of California’s brightest talents. Want more than a handful of tracks? Then jump over to our “Stay Golden” playlist on Spotify, where we keep the entire enchilada nice and warm for you to come back and enjoy whenever you please.

For our first playlist of the New Year, we thought we’d assemble a pack of lo-fi chillers to calm your worried soul. We’re talking vibey Rhodes leads, ‘verbed guitars and vocals, and lazy, hazy melodies from artists like Cayucas, LA singer/songwriter Eva B. Ross, Golden State favorite Poolside, and a sultry blend of jazz, lounge and psychedelic grooves from The Marías in the form of their latest single, “Care For You.”

Want to add a little more California to your life? Jump over to Spotify and smash the follow button on our “Stay Golden” playlist. Every week we add new tracks by established and up-and-coming musicians from the Golden State. Enjoy!
