Franklin Gotham Music Review: Sunshine & Gasoline New Music
With the help of Franklin Gotham, Sunshine & Gasoline seems like one of those songs that sneaks up on you in an overly pleasant way from the inside, alive, untethered, and full of open air electricity. It blends indie-pop warmth with people-pop storytelling and a touch of reggae-ska jumping, giving it a laid-out groove that feels in no way pressured Guitars shimmer with sun-drenched wet notes as the rhythm section continues to shift the whole thing like sequential bliss over countless summer afternoons Franklin Gotham‘s vocal delivery feels charmingly vegetal and unpolished, like someone singing straight from memory rather than the whole performance
Franklin Gotham sounds like an artist who, despite the fact that he’s emotionally colorful, is familiar with the manner of keeping things handy. Sunshine & Gasoline doesn’t try too hard, which is why it really works. There’s a nostalgic glow jogging way, the kind that makes you aware of long drives, hot air, and small moments that make this easy replay song feel bigger in hindsight, yet additionally leaves a mild emotional hint that sticks with you after it’s finished
