For nearly a decade, Bay Ledges has delivered a hypnotic form of indie-pop that alters the way we experience time, inviting both a dreamlike nostalgia and heightened attention to the present moment. “Setting Free,” one of the first songs written for his sophomore album Rivers, surfaced the day after spreading his father and grandparents’ ashes and soon evolved into a frenetic yet intimate meditation on release. “You never forget the people you loved, but it did feel like we were letting them go and allowing ourselves to begin a new chapter as a family,” Hurd explains. Not only pivotal in establishing the emotional undercurrent of Rivers, “Setting Free” found Bay Ledges pushing into previously unexplored sonic terrain and incorporating unexpected elements such as a galvanizing guitar solo. The Undercover Dream Lovers bring his notable psychedelic indie rock sound to the track in this remix.
