Ironic that Lunchtime’s track on GP after moving from Seattle to LA is called “Raining in the Morning.” Just when we thought there was a classic Lunchtime :) sound, singer / producer Chase Hoyt has changed it up on this one. It’s still surreal and playful, but it feels a little less Noel Gallagher in spaceship and a little more 80’s Paul Simon on salvia to me. The uplifting message in the lyrics about changing your attitude to change your internal weather, is a timeless and tasteful cherry on top of an already delicious production. The chorus would have been a 90’s pop hit, but the bubbly synths, jungle beat, and classic rock sensibility is the type of post-ironic genre collage that could only exist in our era, and frankly, could be no one else but Lunchtime :)
