Songs we love: Baseball Gregg – Cilantro Grass

Baseball Gregg is an indie folk/pop duo from Stockton, California, by way of Italy. Founders Luca Lovisetto and Samuel Regan met in 2013 in Bologna, the former a native of the city and the latter a student studying abroad. While they produce records together during summer, they tour as Baseball Gregg with their own live bands respectively in Italy and United States.

I first discovered Baseball Gregg two years ago with their singles album Calendar, I liked the carefree, relaxed vibe of their songs, and even though the songs represented all seasons/months of the year, they fit me the best into this hot summer atmosphere.

And it’s the same with their new single Cilantro Grass. I really enjoyed everything about the song: that pleasant acoustic guitar, subtle violin, sort of casual vocal reminding me of bands like The Magnetic Fields, great female back vocals, entertaining synths… in short, this is the ideal soundtrack for hanging out at your friend’s garden with a glass of wine.

Rating: 4 out of 5.
