Brijean - Take A Trip from the 2022 album Angelo on Ghostly International.

Vocalist/percussionist Brijean Murphy and producer/multi-instrumentalist Doug Stuart have been making sweltering groovy soundscapes as Brijean since 2019 and recently followed up their 2021 full-length Feelings with the EP Angelo. Named after their 1981 Toyota Celica, Angelo was born out of a period of immense grief, in which the duo leaned heavily on each other and music as a way to cope.

Our Song of the Day \\u201cTake a Trip\\u201d celebrates those moments of cruising windows-down, as well as the more psychedelic types of trips, in which the journey is through the mind. \\u201cTravel with me down, down, down /Hear the colors, taste the sounds /Through the window, out the door /Spaces in my mind I\'ve never seen before,\\u201d coos Murphy. A meandering bassline leads the scorchingly sunny song while a bevy of sounds including hand-claps, cu\\xedca hiccups, whip-cracks, even a horse neigh add color to the already-heated track.

\\u201cThis song is an inquiry into shifting perspectives\\u2014a way to deepen our lived experience by becoming aware of the unexplored facets of our own perception,\\u201d says the duo of \\u201cTake a Trip\\u201d which comes with a music video from Nathan Castiel inspired by Dreamcast-era video games that interplays lo-fi 3D animation with the warmth of 16mm film.
