BINARY SUNSET’S SINGLE, “MAILLOT DE BAIN” IS EFFORTLESSLY COOL

Binary Sunset (nice Star Wars reference) brings classic surf rock sounds right to your ears from…Switzerland? That combination of words may be unexpected, but it works absurdly well. Their single, “maillot de bain” is a refreshing, new take on an already-beloved kind of song.

It’s upbeat and catchy but intentional with its movement. The rolling drum beat helps guide the rhythmically centric vocals, making it almost melodic spoken word or rap-adjacent.

Guitar tones along the way introduce a bit of calm to the otherwise zany and eccentric arrangement.

The experimentation Binary Sunset has utilized to cultivate their own “stamp” on their music is truly impressive. “maillot de bain” will be stuck in your head forever—and that’s a promise.
