“Taking Our Time” is the lead single off Ottawa duo Skytone’s new full-length JangleWaves. The twangy slice of jangle-pop isn’t a far cry from the aesthetic of fellow Canadian Travis Bretzer, with a particularly melodic chorus – “honey, I don’t really mind if we do nothin’ / ‘cuz nothin’ sounds pretty good to me” – that stretches its legs out in a nonchalant whimsy. This hook works beautifully off multiple vocal layers and multiple layers of jangly guitars, amping up the arsenal for a purely memorable moment.

Taking Our Time

Ottawa’s Skytone don’t really fit into a neat little package for consumers, but that’s precisely why I love the group. Sure, their brand new album Jangle Waves has the aforementioned jangling, but there are also moments that lean towards swinging croons like in ‘Second Hand Shops‘. They almost adopt a beach vibe with ‘Missing You‘ only to move into dreamy pop territory with the following tune, ‘Lonely Holiday‘. Throughout the listen, you’ll likely find yourself enveloped in warm harmonies reminiscent of the sun you’re trying to avoid outside your window; it’s the power of pure pop at its best!

Second Hand Shops

Lonely Holiday starts off as though it were on one of those classic Jigsaw albums of the mid 70's and ramps into a real celebratory sing along with a new riff and a Mark King Bass riff.
