Upbeat indie-rock with a London edge. Shimmering guitars and a driving bassline capture the nervous, electric energy of a new romantic connection.

1st Time is a burst of pure, unadulterated indie-pop energy that feels like a warm breeze through a North London window. Bakar moves away from the more experimental, genre-blurring textures of his earlier work to embrace a sound that is both classic and contemporary. The track is built on a foundation of a propulsive, melodic bassline that recalls the best of the post-punk revival era, while the guitars provide a shimmering, treble-heavy counterpoint that keeps the mood light and hopeful.

Joyful saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
