Today’s tune comes from a band with a ‘can-do’ attitude, another product of Mostar Records, they are Tied To The Mast.

Their single ‘Plain Lazy’ begins with a soft appealing guitar lick in which the sound can only be described as a portrayal of birds twittering in the beautiful morning sunshine. This is soon accompanied by an equally infectious and catchy drum beat producing a radio-friendly winner! Not to be overshadowed though, the simple but very effective easy-going vocals enter the fray. Lyrically, the song is based on a repetition of the following verse and nothing else:

"Am I just plain lazy? Or acting the fool?

 Am I too hot to handle? Or too cool for school?"

The track really comes into its own as the drums step up a gear seducing the listener into a dream-like state. This stylish performance maintains throughout creating a stunning summer song if ever there was one.

As a debut single on Mostar Records, this track represents some serious potential waiting to be unleashed on the world. ‘Tied To The Mast’ are a name to look out for! 

Here is the wonderful new video for 'Plain Lazy':
