Sounds Like
Walking with the sun in your eyes, dreaming while stoned, dancing in euphoria, laughing, crying, fighting & fuxxing, a pencil drawing and a large scale painting, pop and indie, electronic music from the last 20 years or so, electric guitars and analog synths backed by drum programmings and sometimes with added weird, stoned, ravy, blissful vocals and melodies... all mixed up into something that you think you have heard before and almost have, but really havent.
