New Track: “Jean’s Waving” – Amor de Dias

Merge Records artist Amor de Días has released a new single, entitled “Jean’s Waving” in advance of a forthcoming full-length, The House at Sea, which will see release on January 29, 2013. The laid back pop is a bit more straightforward than previous Amor de Días songs I know–much less tropicalia and a lot more 70s pop. The understated guitars, steady snares, and soft background vocals that reinforce the simple chorus, “Jean’s waving goodbye/ so long to the city at night,” recall Big Star–“O, Dana” comes to mind. It sounds like something of a departure for the group, but we are definitely into it. Hear “Jean’s Waving” below via Soundcloud.
