A shrieking cry opens Desert Weather’s swaggering new single, "Still in My Head." The garage rock quartet captures the euphoric excitement of meeting a special someone whose spirit is infectious. Led by singer Eric Smedberg’s vocal nonchalance, the band tears through a raw, yet exuberant guitar work that’s backed up by a chugging backbeat. "I’m screaming your name/from the top of my lungs," he openly declares, fully surrendering to a rush of emotions that are impossible to contain. And as it unfolds, we can’t help but feel the excitement, too.
"Still in My Head" is the first single off the band’s forthcoming EP, due out later this year. Juan Rodríguez
