Sunshine In My Mind is The Black Captain’s Single
This band produces refined and solid music.
An alternative rock that creates atmospheres that made me think of bands like U2 and Cold Play. This melodic rock, carefully crafted, is able to keep the listener glued to the speakers from the first to the last second.
Sunshine In My Mind is a catchy song with a pressing rhythmic cadence that manages to transfer positive vibes.
It feels like these guys have spent a lot of time in the rehearsal room to achieve such an enviable sound understanding. Their music is intense and the musical arrangements are very well thought out.
The Black Captain are great musicians with mature artistic vision. Their developed artistic taste allows them to always make the correct harmonic decision. In fact, compared to the songs that top the charts around the world, their music has nothing to envy.
I’m sure these guys have a bright future ahead as their approach is very professional.
A nice discovery that I recommend to everyone.
