Song Recommendation: "Aquarium cowgirl” by Babe Rainbow (2025)

Babe Rainbow’s first album, The Babe Rainbow,  was self titled, or, rather , it used to be self titled. Apparently late to heed Sean Parker’s advice (via Justin Timberlake) to drop “the ‘The,’” Babe Rainbow were THE Babe Rainbow for their first two albums and while they’ve since moved to a cleaner name it’s a fact that they’re a singular band and nobody else can quite do what they do. Even in the (now) very crowded field of neo-psychedelia they stand out with their relaxed refinement, instrumental mastery, sunny disposition and especially with their ability to touch on real world anxieties while never losing the afternoon-vibin’ groove. “Aquarium cowgirl” is a highlight from their latest and while the song came out in April, I present it to you as a pretty stellar contender for song of the summer (chill edition).
