SXSW 2022: Strawberry Guy

Another artist on the BBC schedule. Mellow dream pop from Liverpool.  Apparently this song blew up on Tik Tok.  Here's an interview where he talks about preparing his debut album after that breakout success.  It says his album:

blends the chiming piano melodies of balladeers like John Lennon with the languid rhythms and dreamy basslines of psych-pop heroes The War On Drugs and Tame Impala.

Pretty mellow.  Most of his other songs follow the same style. "Sun Outside My Window" is about as peppy as it gets.  Definitely hear The War on Drugs comparison.
