Duo Frasco’s music has always been relatively laid back, avoiding easy city-pop-revival trappings in favor of something a bit more out there (but still limber). So this group — which describe themselves as a “meta pop project?” I don’t remember that from last year, is this a commentary on…something? — creating a smoothed-out beat for a rap outfit isn’t too surprising. “Wave” finds them teaming up with Poolside, laying down an early afternoon groove allowing them to bob over. The best part, though, comes from Frasco’s own voices, as the hook that comes afterwards ends up being the song’s stickiest moment. Listen above.
