Single Review of Twirlies: “Wait Until Tomorrow”

Norwegian indie pop trio Twirlies – Christoffer, Sara, and Sigurd – follow up debut single “Think That I’m in Love” with the smooth, light, soft-but-not-mellow, peppy little pop number “Wait Until Tomorrow.”

“Wait Until Tomorrow” begins with the sort of organy synth notes that are reminiscent of shoegaze-slash-dreamwave, and those notes persist throughout the song, providing a dreamy, otherworldly feel. At the same time, the sweet melody and vocal harmonies carry a more pop-friendly style from beginning to end.

With each subsequent listen, this is a song that grows on you, increasingly becoming a favorite, as its blend of style and sound carries a depth that becomes more apparent upon multiple plays. It’s not simply the sweet little ditty it appears at first glance. At the same time, it’s not super-deep. But it’s musically complex enough to remain interesting – increasingly so – and grow from simply an “oh, that’s kinda nice” song into a playlist favorite. The song has a subtle energy, one that’ll put a little smile on your face because of his quietly cheerful pleasantness.

Light pop, shoegaze, or dreamwave fans – or really anyone in need of a pleasant, smile-inducing melody in their lives – should give a few spins to Twirlies’ “Wait Until Tomorrow.”
