Mausi – sol.

Worth checking out: Mausi – sol. (Lightwaves Remix)
The ideal setting to play “sol.”: A beautiful sunny day in your car with your sunglasses on, windows down, and volume cranked all the way up. Whether you’re actually driving or just sitting with the car in park.
Mausi is a Newcastle, England band made up of sister and brother Daisy and Thomas Finetto, Ben Brown, and Benji Huntrods. They’re still relatively new in the scene – in fact their label ATG Records, the “brainchild” of blog All Things Go, was launched only this past November. Mausi is in the process of working on new material so with releases like “sol.” and “Disney Films,” it’s easy to be excited for what they have in store.
From the title of the song to the bright piano chord progression, “sol.” oozes the essence of summer. Daisy and Thomas’s vocals play off each other perfectly. Several times throughout the track, you’re commanded to “Dance! Dance! Dance!” I double dog dare you not to do so while listening to this.
