I think for a lot of us, music serves as an escape route from our everyday aches and pains, so it’s nice when a song takes you somewhere especially peaceful like Getaway Dogs’ “Excuses/Opinions.” I hit play and am gently transported to the warmth of the coast and swathed in a carefree vibe. Inspired by the western coast and his Brazilian roots, Kai Killian (the band’s brainchild and songwriter) aims for genre fusion that results in something that feels both light and soulful, relaxed but able. Poised to dive back into post-summer reality, this is exactly the type of song I’ve been turning up and tuning out to. Kick back and enjoy Getaway Dogs “Excuses/Opinions” above from their newly released record, Lost In The Ebb.
