With Carmen San Diego, Famous Friend crafts a lush, introspective dream / surf rock anthem. The track’s surfy guitars and intricate beats blend nostalgia with raw emotion, exploring the parallels between childhood optimism and adult challenges. Inspired by Zachariah Carlson’s second-grade memories of chasing Carmen Sandiego through geography clues, the song layers wistful lyrics over sun-soaked melodies. As the first glimpse of the Blue EP (out April 2), it shifts from the fiery warmth of 2024’s Tanlines to the cool, reflective depths of LA’s complex emotional landscape.
A captivating mix of melancholia and hope.
