T-shirt Dream Party é uma linha roupa indie criada pelos irmãos Ben e Dan Dickson com os amigos de longa data Eggs (David Egbe) e Sam Powell – colectivamente conhecidos como Green Eggs and Sam – das fendas suburbanas de Manchester; algures entre o paraíso de Stretford e o Tesco em Baguley.

A música que vos trago, “Mellow Yellow (Smoke Trees)”, surpreendeu-me pela forma como me ficou logo no ouvido. Não só gostei da forma como a música foi evoluindo, como aquele pequeno solo ao terceiro minuto foi a cereja no topo do bolo. A guitarra melódica, o baixo a entrar na altura a certa a contribuir com a sua força e ritmo, a bateria como pano de fundo a ajudar ao suspense e a voz etérea fazem de Mellow Yellow uma das músicas mais vibrantes desta Primavera. Em relação à perspectiva da banda sobre o que motivou o tema, eles dizem: “The inspiration behind the song lyrically is about beginning to fight back against an addiction your ultimately not strong enough to beat or not strong enough to beat yet. You might be telling everyone on the outside you’re doing really well but in reality you’re not. The addiction could be a girl, drugs or both.”

In mellow yellow town
The sirens rang loud
Something was awoken
Fix her up a round
She might lose her frown
Here’s to hopin
Everybody sees you
Everybody votes
What’s about to go down
Is blood from your nose
But you always act tough
Yeah you always
I think she’s gonna open
With a bit of lightning
Striking like a cobra
On repeat
Won’t you come down
Everybody’s bound
She’s about to open
Fix him up a round
He might lose his frown
Here’s to hopin
Everybody sees you
Everybody votes
What’s about to go down
Is blood from your nose
I think she’s gonna open
With a bit of lightning
Striking like a cobra
On repeat
When she spiked his potion
He got down on both knees
Who dyou think tought you
To smoke trees
Who was it?
Coz you always act tough
Yeah you always
