Wonderful Humans – Just What I Needed (Mountain Of Youth Remix)

It feels better than it sounds and sounds better than it feels — you follow? It makes no sense, but I guess I’m not wanting it to — because this Mountain Of Youth remix just tipped me into a blissed oblivion and I can’t see, let alone touch, the ground. An otherworldly bounce drags me high right before the sonic force* of Wonderful Humans pulls me back down; like a roller coster, never once losing the merriment or thrill of the ride along the way.

*You and your eyes got me on a high
And it’s a good feeling, to feel this way.

Full disclosure: I dropped everything the moment I heard this track, overwhelmingly overcome by an urge to share with you. I haven’t felt like this in a long time… and luckily for you and I, that feeling doesn’t have to stop here. Steady does it: Mountain Of Youth is going to be fucking massive and without question, is my top remix artist find of 2015.

I’ll never stop falling mesmerized by musicians who double as soulmates because I’ll never stop appreciating that special spark and whimsical flare that touches their words, their notes and their songs. I’ve found this in duo Brian Cag and Amanda Carl of Wonderful Humans. After first crossing paths in the fall of 2011, their true magic began when more than just a significant other was found in one another. Together they create articulate and beautifully embellished pop with infectious melodies and a robust tropical flavor.

In their newest release, I am as impressed by their addictive sound as I am by the beautiful storyline it laminates. So, I asked Brian and Amanda to jot down the lyrics and send them our way… reading the intimate lines, I can’t help but feel like a page was ripped from an old journal or diary. Brilliantly poetic, Wonderful Humans prove they are much more than their music.
