As glamorous as it sounds to be sitting in a hundred-year-old Villa in Tuscany, gazing out my hundred-year-old window pane at the snow falling on the hundred-year-old olive grove below, one must realize that the price I pay for all that antiquated charm is a not-so-charming hundred-year-old European heating system. Right now, as much as I appreciate the Italian countryside in all its rustic splendor, I can’t help but fantasize about what it would be like to walk around my bedroom wearing less than the ski suit I am currently sporting.

#Champagneproblems? Maybe. So, instead of crying/scouring the country for an electric blanket, I have taken solace in Fantasy Island’s new release “Alone,” a funk-infused jam dripping in sunbeams and radiating the Americana vibes that I’m starting to miss. Fantasy Island, an LA duo comprised of Alex Jacob and Spencer Frazen, claims the likes of Debussy, Vashti Bunyan, Kanye, Beach Boys as muses, and “Alone” just further evinces the group’s eclectic inspiration. An interesting mix of Motown, chillwave, and disco (yes, disco), the track is bold and warm enough to fend off even the fiercest of Venti.
