California duo Kyle Krone and Brandon Hoogenboom, combine as Casual Vice to bring a surfeit of blissed out West Coast vibes to latest EP, 'Joie de Vivre' - released earlier this month - and nowhere better than on this reverb and guitar-driven track 'Hourglass'.

The five-minute-plus number exudes beautifully produced instrumentation and harmonies, with bass and drums effortlessly intercut.

Lyrically, Brandon describes 'Hourglass' as a "deeply personal autobiographical song of Kyle’s life and childhood that takes a beautifully honest and transparent look at the always diminishing asset of time, and impermanence of life itself and the beautiful but painful realizations that are associated with this awareness."
