If you’re looking for some mellow tunes with bittersweet lyrics to match, Mo Dotti has a surprise for you. The LA-based group’s recent track, “Inverted Skies,” is a hypnotic treat that’ll take your mind off of all the chaos in the world right now.

While the track is slower-paced than the rest of the band’s singles, the methodical
instrumentation is sweet and simple. Add on the cool vocals hovering above the song,
and the lyrics that work together to create a small story, and “Inverted Skies” is a moodysong that doesn’t overstay its welcome. In fact, the four and a half minute runtime runs faster than we’d like!

With each single Mo Dotti releases, the band shifts its sounds ever so slightly, though
“Inverted Skies” is a more evident change of pace. While we’d love to hear an LP from
the band, this trickle of singles makes them all the more appealing to hear live, if you
haven’t seen them before. “Inverted Skies” only adds to this appeal by showing the
band’s range for slow hypnotic tracks that keeps you engaged.

Whether that engagement be a slow nod of your head as you listen to the mellow
psychedelic backdrop, or looking closely at the lyrics to make meaning out of it yourself, or just needing background music to fill your quarantine, consider Mo Dotti’s “Inverted Skies!” And if the slow sound isn’t your thing, check out Mo Dotti’s other singles for a faster groove.
