'Year Of Self' is the debut track from Los Angeles outfit TALK TIME, who channel their love for catchy, yet experimental pop and West Coast sensibilities into this warm indie single. The laidback drums and intricate, beach-vibe guitars instantly put the listener at ease, images of the ocean, the beach, the warm Cali sun drifting into ones minds eye. More than a solid, alternative summer song, 'Year Of Self' "is a celebration & mantra for the unique thinkers with courage to live outside the box, and an ode to the astronomer Galileo,” as the band explain. You'll surely find yourself getting starry-eyed as you dip into the groove of the chorus, a mix between bouncing instrumentation and stratospheric synths, and the band's core message - "hey misfit, stay true." - Hannah Thacker
