I don't really remember when was the last time that I couldn't dig out something about the artist/song that caught my attention. Everything is normally very present and very much out there. I do feel like the kind of "mystery" around the artist gives a certain vibe to the music.

This is exactly what happened with Tomemitsu and his "In Dreams" (thanks, Discover Weekly). The track is properly bedroom lo-fi type of tune with a very melancholic and very hazy feel to it, but this still made me hit repeat button way too many times. And the lyrics, guys, the lyrics! This is the perfect daydreaming soundtrack, like when you just stare out of the window and float.

This is probably as much as I want to share about Tomemitsu (aka Martin Roark):

"Martin is an eagle scout, he's half japanese, and his mom is from brazil, so there's all that to consider as you smile yourself to sleep enjoying the tunes."
