LOVESICK’s creative collaboration on “Beach Foam,” originally by Future Islands, is a captivating journey through the splendors and madness of affection. This revamped version, with its distinctive 80s Cure-esque style, manages to pay homage to the original while infusing it with fresh vitality.
The decision to slightly slow down the BPM and infuse the track with upbeat energy showcases LOVESICK’s musical ingenuity. Swapping out smooth synths for strummy 80s-esque guitars and introducing a more prominent drum style gives “Beach Foam” a renewed vigor. This is no small feat, as covering such a timeless indie classic from “Wave Like Home” demands both respect and creativity.
Accompanying the ethereal cover is a visually stunning video that tells the story of a mermaid washed ashore, adding depth to the track’s romantic theme. The video’s artistry beautifully complements the dreamy ambiance of LOVESICK’s rendition.
Overall, LOVESICK’s take on “Beach Foam” is a touching and enchanting experience that captures the essence of the original while injecting it with their unique style. This cover not only showcases the band’s musical prowess but also their ability to breathe new life into a beloved track. LOVESICK’s creativity shines through, making their rendition of “Beach Foam” a standout addition to the indie music scene.
