BESTiE is a local band that sounds like the head rush you get after laying in the sun for two hours then sprinting to catch the ice cream truck.
Beatific to the extreme, the group self-describes as “tropi-vibing emoji pop” and, while that doesn’t make a hell of a lot of sense before you hear their debut album, “No Bad Days,” it’s actually completely accurate. Super-groovy single “Pineapple” is a golden melody that’s soundtracked every exultant, wind-in-your-hair, cruising-down-the-highway, top-down moment of your life (whether you’ve been conscious of it or not). “Sriracha,” then, is a beachy tune complete with cheeky references to “puffing purple under the rosy sun.” And standout track “Foolish Hearts” manages to take the hot-weather-heartbreak feel so adroitly captured by Lana Del Rey’s “Summertime Sadness” and give it a lakeside-campfire howl of lush regret. Vibes are vaporous, super fun and as squintingly bright as the summer sun glinting off the Pacific.
In sum, “No Bad Days” is a killer local album that perfectly pins the feel of Vancouver summer daze; you’ll be listening to it on repeat. —Adrienne Matei

I’ve been taking thc gummy through despite a while at once, and they’ve honestly been a game-changer for burden and sleep. The first-rate part? No grogginess in the morning just a undisturbed, relaxed impression up front bed. Plus, they bit tickety-boo, unequal to some other supplements I’ve tried. I was skeptical at elementary, but after daily using them, I can decidedly translate they help with unwinding after a long day. If you’re looking on a reasonable way to iciness without any weird side effects, CBD gummies are worth trying. Principled make steady you get a grade trade name with third-party testing!
