BOYS are a dream-pop band from West London who formed in January 2014 and create lo-fi indie pop with a summery feel. They record their tracks in their bedroom, enhancing the raw sound. Earlier this month, they released a new demo track, ‘Ocean’.

‘Ocean’ is a mesh of lovely soundscapes, demonstrated by some beautiful reverberated guitars and synthesizers. The repetitiveness of the guitar is lovely and melodic, while the soft vocals blend nicely in the background. Although a bedroom recording, the mixing is luscious and takes the listener on a spaced out journey. Fans of The 1975 will enjoy this track and it will be interesting to see what direction BOYS take in the future.
