Wavy

Standalone single (October 22, 2021), feat. Celeste Krishna (Alabama-bred, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter). Luke Francis Walton wrote, performed, and mixed; Riley Knapp mastered. It landed two weeks after Big Hug (October 8, 2021), the same post-pandemic re-entry summer as the LP but in standalone beach-pop with a guest voice.

The first verse is a local-paradise checklist, an IPA, a heated jacuzzi, friends home for the weekend, a San Diego local summer breaking through June gloom. The chorus reuses the wavy vocabulary of Kick It in Nirvana (getting wavy with that good grass) on Big Hug, here sober and sunlit. The cartoon-beach verse stacks absurd images, swinging in a coconut to the beat of a dophin jump (the typo is preserved from DistroKid).

The bridge is surf philosophy: when you tryna catch a wave / you gonna have to find the sweet spot, repeated with gotta learn what you forgot, skill as memory and the relationship as wave-riding. A preview of Moonlight Beach (2023) and Feels So Good before the place-record commits, and the opposite season from the Little Hug lockdown.
