Singer Kelsey Lillion captivates playfully over a confident performance from the rhythm section of bassist Justin "Fish" Fisher and drummer Kyle Goldsmith. Meanwhile, dual guitarists Justin Behn and Ben Kays weave a tapestry of resonant riffs and textural layers into the song, while Logan "Frog" Farber's keys inject his vintage-funk flavor to tastefully complete the panorama.
"Poppin' Balloons" is essentially a pop rock tune at its core, representing the spirit of The Textures in pushing beyond genre boundaries. The group melds the psychedelic wonder of the '70s, the funk and disco groove, and the sincerity of indie pop into something that isn't just enjoyable but also surprising. Into the wild jam-band-gone-pop-territory they trek, and in a modern indie marketplace, "Poppin' Balloons" serves as an acquired taste from a distant island. A live show from The Textures is experiencing a moment. It is the sound of laughter being released too loudly. And in that same sentiment, they made a track that soars.
