Toro Y Moi percussionist Brijean is calling you from the beach on “Walkie Talkie”
On her first solo foray, she brings summer to you.
After assisting other artists like Poolside, Toro Y Moi, and U.S. Girls with their pop sensibilities, Brijean Murphy is ready to show the world what she's been working on with producer Doug Stuart. The end result will be her first album Walkie Talkie.
The title track has crisp drums that wash over you right on beat like the ocean's waves while the synths keep you warm like the sun on an uncrowded day at your private beach. Brijean commented on the undefeated plan that spawned this track: "We made the song within a couple days together in the Bay. We started on a beat that Doug made while touring, then reined in some sexy, good mood vibes, added some lyrics around positive mental health and fictional yet familiar scenes and bada boom. We like making songs that you can grind or drive to."
You can pre-order Walkie Talkie here. It'll be out June 28 via Native Cat Recordings.
