On the heels of her recent release “Locket,” burgeoning songstress Lila Drew delivers her lastest offering that is, in her own words, “an ode to nostalgia.” A bedroom pop anthem that sticks to your ribs, “Dad’s Van” is the sonic representation of Drew’s impression of “suburban childhood in dad’s van” that often can be found in the ’90s indie movies.
Breezy and chill, the production features sumptuous synths and whirling melodies. Drew’s soft crooning rests blissfully atop the halcyon soundscape, coaxing listeners into sweet serenity. Layers of musical elements melt under a purple haze, accompanied by intoxicating lyricism to paint a vivid image of childhood romance.
