Peach Tree Rascal's new single, "Mariposa," makes some songs feel like an easy wind on a summer afternoon, warm, effortless, and impossible to avoid. With its latest song, "Mariposa," Peach Tree Rascals have done just that by releasing a bright, feel-good jam that faints between indie, R&B, and alternative pop like a butterfly in flight.
"Mariposa" is pure escapism built on breezy guitar strums, shimmering melodies, and hypnotic vocal layers. "Mariposa" dishes up the youthful craving for more freedom, love, and adventure while dressing it up in the sort of easy groove that makes sitting still impossible. The Rascals' signature mix-tape genre-bending style is once again in place, with silky harmonies and effortless rap cadences melting into one another over a beat designed for road trips, late-night drives, and golden-hour hangs.
"Mariposa" is about transformation and pursuing dreams, like the butterfly after which it's named. It's a fitting theme for Peach Tree Rascals, a collective that earned its success from the ground up by self-funding its music while working at restaurants and print shops. That hustle and the eclectic influences, Frank Ocean meets The Beatles, make for a sound that feels simultaneously nostalgic and bracingly fresh.
