New album: Depress Mode || Greetings From Mission Viejo

More goodness to satisfy those indie rock itches! To quote Larry David, the new Depress Mode record is pretty pretty pretty good. From the get go, Greetings From Mission Viejo is drenched in melancholy, with the band’s sole members (Riley Getz and Donovan Wildfong) singing about pandemic frustrations and longing for social connection on album opener I Wanna Hug My Friends. In other songs they sing about their social awkwardness (Social), and only feeling at home in their car (My Car Is My home).

Those dark and self-deprecating undertones in the lyrics juxtapose nicely with the music, that is surprisingly upbeat and infectious. It’s easy to fall for Greeting From Mission Viejo: a catchy and fun collection of lo-fi slacker rock tunes from the garage. Out now on Slugger Records!
