VAN BOBBI: Morro Bay

Van Bobbi’s second single “Morro Bay” adds to the long musical tradition of odes to our western-most state. With infectious melodies and seductive percussion, this song may be just what we needed to get through the winter ahead. Drawing inspiration from pop crooners like Chromeo and Penguin Prison, Van Bobbi’s songs and persona celebrate a hopeful and effervescent take on life. “Morro Bay” isn’t just a song about summer, it’s about the state of mind summer puts us in — one where everything about the day seems like it’s beckoning us forward. Paired with his previous single “Amelia Earhart (Never Come Down)” Van Bobbi makes a real case for being elected our escapist-in-chief.
