Los Angeles-based duo Limón Limón recently released its debut EP Believing In Yesterday. If the title track is any indication, it sounds as though the band absorbed the spirit and aesthetic of yacht rock and channeled it forward through the vocabulary of modern synth pop. Its relaxed vibe is able to wax nostalgic without crossing over into the maudlin. The song seems to be able two people who may be going through a troubled time in their relationship but the narrator asks the other to remember when things were good and what brought them together and to write another “chapter” of something good that came apart for reasons that don’t seem to matter now. What sets this song apart from music in a similar vein is the use of what sounds like live bass and drums to ground an otherwise well crafted set of airy melodies. It gives your ears an anchoring point without drawing attention away from the words and the mood, which is a solid choice and not often so well executed.
