Songs we love: Lunar Isles – Balloons

Lunar Isles is the moniker of David Skimming, a Scottish multi-instrumentalist who produces surf-tinged dream pop songs with a DIY approach from his newfound home of South Korea.

I’ve shared here earlier songs by Lunas Isles because it seems to me that his music is very unique and original: impeccable production that feels at the same time very clean and polished, but also human, with a lot of soul…

I also enjoyed those raw guitar riffs, I must say they were sort of unexpected and I like when music surprises me!

But what I like about Balloons the most is definitely Skimming’s vocal – it’s not a perfect vocal performance from America’s Got Talent, but it’s even better – it’s emotive and natural.

Rating: 4 out of 5.
